The State of Cybersecurity in 2024
Over the past few years, there has been a sharp rise in cyberattacks threatening organizations of all sizes across various industries.
Hackers Have Their Sights Set on Backups
According to current data, 96% of attacks are directed there, and in 76% of cases hackers are successful. These statistics underline the urgent need for robust and reliable backup solutions that ensure data protection and rapid recovery in the event of an attack. It is therefore imperative that organisations protect their data from cyber-attacks and prepare for the possibility that the backups themselves will be compromised.
This is where Veeam’s expert solutions come into play. Our specialist, Martin Bajer, will demonstrate how Veeam’s tools can enhance your cybersecurity resilience and ensure the safety and recoverability of your backups.
Immutable Backups and Configuration
Another tool that significantly contributes to the security of your data is the Veeam Security and Compliance Analyzer. This tool automatically performs a security audit of your backup infrastructure, evaluating configurations and settings to identify potential security gaps or compliance issues.
“The Compliance Analyzer is a handy tool that allows us to easily identify weaknesses in our backup infrastructure and ensure that settings adhere to best practices and comply with regulatory requirements,” adds Martin Bajer.”Backup immutability is absolutely crucial for protection against ransomware attacks today. Thanks to our solution, which combines advanced Veeam technologies with S3 storage, we can be confident that even if an attacker manages to access our backups, they cannot be altered or deleted,” says Martin Bajer, our expert in backup and EUC.
Auditing Your Backup Strategy
Another tool that makes a significant contribution to ensuring the security of your data is Veeam Security and Compliance Analyzer. This tool automatically performs a security audit of your backup infrastructure and evaluates settings and configurations to identify potential security gaps or non-compliance with “best practices.”
“Compliance Analyzer is a handy tool that allows us to easily identify weaknesses in the backup infrastructure and ensure that the setup follows best practices and everything is in compliance with compliance rules,” adds Martin Bajer.
The Security and Compliance Analyzer provides a detailed checklist with recommendations on how to optimize your backup solution according to established practices. However, not everything should be taken as dogma. For example, the tool recommends disabling Remote Desktop Services (RDS), but we securely use it with multi-factor authentication.
Conclusion
The question is not WHY you will face a cyber attack, but WHEN the threat will come. That’s why it’s crucial to have a comprehensive data protection plan in place that includes both prevention and fast and effective recovery. Geetoo Veeam Cloud Backup offers advanced tools to help you tools that can help you implement these plans and ensure that even in the event of an attack, your data remains safe and accessible.
