Do you know what you’ll do if your business is hit by ransomware? Backups are one thing, but hackers and ransomware have every intention of getting ahead of you. Hackers today will encrypt the server holding your backups, to ensure you can’t access them. They’ll sit in your server for a period of time from few days to months to understand your server and lock you out.
The best way to defend against hackers getting the better of you is to use immutable backups. NSP’s immutable backup solution prevents hackers from encrypting your backup data and holding you for ransom. We configure your backups so they are immutable and cannot be altered, changed, or encrypted. This means your backups are safe, and hackers are unable to hold you to ransom, disrupting your business, causing unplanned downtime and incurring unexpected costs to your business.
Create automated immutable backups to prevent encryption by hackers and never get held to ransom.
Restore lost data in just 2-4 hours, saving days or months of impacted business revenue.
Once you have stored an immutable backup, it cannot be altered or changed and is impervious to new ransomware infections.
Immutable backups comply with NZ privacy legislation and protect against financial losses, legal repercussions and reputational damage.
Ensure your data is stored securely on premise, or on cloud. Protect your data with robust security features including encryption and automatic backups of your data.
Work with our experts to set up data retention rules. Define retention frequency and secure access with required permissions.
Your risk profile is unique, endure your data storage, retention and access controls meet your business requirements.
Leverage security expertise as and when needed, ensure you are following best practices, and your controls are in line with adapting cyber-risks.
Incase of an unfortunate cyber-incident get access to your backups securely and swiftly mitigate risks.
