DR in the Ransomware Age: Isolated Recovery, DRaaS and Embracing IT Resiliency

Ransomware attacks are on the rise and are incorporating more complex and sophisticated techniques. Security experts agree: It’s not if an attack will come, but when. Channel partners can help their customers arm themselves against the devastating effects of ransomware with the right tools, infrastructure, approach and strategy. And a key element in their arsenal is one not-so-secret weapon: disaster recovery.

• DRaaS solutions have revolutionized the RTO and RPO available to even small customers.
• A critical element in protection is creating a resilient environment that can recover from any havoc ransomware wreaks.
