Backup systems in the crosshairs of cybercriminals

By Vanesa Garcia / April 18, 2023

Companies are becoming aware of the need for solutions backup to ensure business continuity and the security of its digital assets. In this context, implementing innovative technologies becomes a priority to guarantee the continuity of operations.

On the other hand, the lack of implementation of these technologies has had significant consequences for the continuity of services in large companies, both public and private.

Under this scenario, Juan Manuel Pascual, cybersecurity expert and CEO of Innovery Spain and LATAM explains: “when news appears about companies whose systems are blocked, the only thing it highlights is that their business continuity policies and solutions have failed.”.

The consequences of not having these solutions can range from the loss of critical data and business continuity disruption to reduced productivity, as more time and resources must be dedicated to reconstructing lost data.

Backup in the spotlight

Implementing a hyperconverged architecture provides the ability to recover information more efficiently, regardless of the amount of data to recover.

These types of architectures offer solutions to the new challenges that companies must face when choosing a backup solution. Among them, Innovery highlights the following:

• Speed increase. Business is moving faster and faster, and the information being generated is too. The volume and complexity of data have skyrocketed over the last decade, posing enormous capacity and security challenges for organizations. Looking for scalable solutions is the top priority.
• Ransomware as a primary threat. No company is exempt from falling victim to a cyberattack. Furthermore, Spanish organizations are not prepared to respond.
• Ransomware has established itself as their major threat. Cybercriminals are very clear that one of their main objectives is to block or encrypt information in order to paralyze companies' systems and services. Until a few years ago, a ransomware attack occurred on an isolated device, but today it spreads across systems, preventing business continuity.
