State of affairs

Ransomware is not going away. On the contrary: attacks are becoming increasingly targeted, more sophisticated, and the demands are getting higher. Experts agree: it is not a question of if a company, institution, or government agency will be attacked—but only when. According to Veeam’s 2024 Ransomware Trends Report, only 25% of organizations worldwide claimed not to have been hit by ransomware in 2023. This means that 3 out of 4 companies have had to deal with ransomware.

While prevention—technical measures, employee training, zero admin—is incredibly important, your data must be protected as effectively as possible against the consequences of a potential attack. This includes—also according to the BSI—first and foremost a comprehensive data protection concept that offers rapid recovery, the highest security, the best scalability, and maximum flexibility. It is important to draw extra attention here to hardware immutability, for example through a physical air gap or hardware WORM sealing.
