CSI Webinar: Come learn how Veeam’s next generation backup technology can help you sleep better at night!

It has been reported that when attackers breach your network, they often first go after your backups in an attempt to corrupt them so that you have no option to get your data back but to pay the ransom. I recently saw some statistics that when they gain access to the backups, they are at least partially successful in disabling or corrupting them.

What would you do if only 40% or 50% of your data was recoverable? That would be a nightmare scenario.

Recently, we have had a dramatic uptick in "holiday weekend" cyberattacks against K-12 in the region. It has become clear to me that much of the success of these attacks is self-inflicted.
