Believe it or not, it has been a year since WannaCry crippled organizations around the world, and since that time ransomware attacks have only accelerated. The ransomware "industry" is now a $5 billion market and is projected to grow to over $11 billion by 2019. Backup alone is not enough, ransomware is the new disaster, and it can impact any organization regardless of size or location. Are you ready for what is coming next? Attend our live webinar as experts from Storage Switzerland and Infrascale help you create a Ransomware Preparedness Checklist.

3. Ransomware Refresh -
What is Ransomware?
● Ransomware is Malware
● Encrypts an organization’s data
● Cures
○ Pay ransom
○ Recover data

4. Ransomware’s Next Wave
● Gradual Infection - Harder to Detect
○ Instead of corrupting all at once
○ Corrupt a little bit at a time
● Backup Corruption
○ Don’t execute attack right away
○ Let executable get backed up
○ Restoration includes restoring
infection executable
● Backup/Snapshot Attack
○ Ransomware specifically
targets backup
○ Encrypt backup
configuration files
○ Encrypt protected data

5. Ransomware Recovery Challenges
● More than just “can” you
recover
○ Can you recover faster and
easier than paying the
ransom?
● Infection can occur anywhere
○ Applications
○ File servers
○ Laptops/Desktops
● Need to make sure you don’t
recover the “trigger”
○ Otherwise, you create an
endless loop of corruption

6. Three Steps to Beating Ransomware

7. Step 1: Defend
● Granular, changes only backups
● Enables frequent data protection
(every 15 minutes)
● Protect everything: applications,
file servers, and endpoints
● Protect Backup Data: Off-site,
limit user access, dual keys

8. Step 2: Detect
● Backup system should
alert to a high number of
changes
● Backup system should
provide multiple versions
for rollback

9. ● Multiple recovery methods need to be available
● Single file recover when the attack is detected early
Step 3: Recover
● Versioned recovery when a staged
attack occurs
● Boot from backup recovery when an
entire volume is impacted
● Total recovery in the cloud when the
entire data center is compromised

10. 7 Point -
Ransomware
Checklist
● User Education - Don’t click on anything
with a link (repeat often)
● Email Security (reputation, anti-spam, anti-
malware, anti-phishing)
● Gateway Security (advanced persistent
threat and above)
● File Monitoring (rapid opens, modifications,
and closures (file renames)
● Frequent Backups (every 15 minutes)
● Instant Restores (recover in less than 15
minutes)
● Cloud Copy (protected copy, DRaaS)
