Essential backup solutions to secure from ransomware attacks

Learn the essential data backup requirements to protect your business from ransomware attacks with a robust backup strategy. Anand Prahlad, CEO, Parablu Inc., outlines the fundamental conditions that a good backup solution should feature:

First, your backup solution should create a second, separate copy of your data, not just extend the retention of the exact copy.

The backup copy should be stored offsite. This geographic separation prevents data loss if the primary site is impacted. Cloud backups automatically handle offsite storage without physical media transportation.
Backup data must be encrypted to protect against unauthorized access and ransomware. You should control the encryption keys, not the vendor.

Finally, your backup vendor should employ additional ransomware defenses like a virtual air gap, an extra authentication barrier, etc.
Solutions like Parablu accomplish this through features like a ransomware defense suite. Watch this video to learn how Parablu delivers on these backup best practices to maximize your ransomware resilience.
