Introducing Arcserve Cyber Resilient Storage: Your Immutable Defense Against Cyber Threats

I think it’s hard to dispute that today's digital environment is dominated by cyber threats, which constantly challenge operational continuity and data integrity. I find this statistic especially worrying—82% of last year's ransomware attacks targeted companies with fewer than 1000 employees.¹

It tells me that the ubiquity of cyber threats is impossible to deny even if you’re a small- or medium-sized organization. I’d like to be able to play the “can't hear, can't speak, can't see” game with ransomware. But the growing frequency and sophistication of these attacks highlight the need to maintain a complete suite of data resilience tools for businesses of any size, big or small.

Is Your Backup Data Ransomware's Next Target?

As I spend more time with clients and frontline IT leaders, it becomes evident that organizations of all sizes are under pressure not only to shield their data from cyber attacks, like ransomware, but also to meet stringent requirements for cybersecurity.

In the current environment, I think a lot of people “underappreciate” the fact that over 90% of ransomware attacks target backup data.² I don’t.

For this reason, we at Arcserve see immutability as a crucial component for any healthy backup regimen, as it can deliver an extra layer of protection for your backups, while also helping you with regulatory compliance.

That’s why I'm excited to introduce Arcserve Cyber Resilient Storage, as it provides organizations with an immutable data backup solution, ensuring that backed up data cannot be altered or deleted, effectively creating an indestructible barrier against cyber threats. Moreover, it streamlines compliance with regulatory requirements such as federal, legal, or financial mandates for data retention, making it easier for organizations to meet their obligations.

Immutable Backup Storage for the Arcserve Ecosystem

Put simply, Arcserve Cyber Resilient Storage is a new immutable backup storage solution for cloud or on-premises workloads, integrated with Arcserve products, guarding unchangeable and recoverable data for peak security against cyber threats.

I see the introduction of Cyber Resilient Storage as another milestone that underscores the Arcserve commitment to providing intuitive, flexible, and cost-effective data protection solutions. Adding a robust immutable backup layer to Arcserve environments, Cyber Resilient Storage seamlessly integrates with existing Arcserve products like UDP, the all-in-one data protection solution, and ShadowProtect, backup and data disaster recovery software for managed service providers.

There are many expensive and cumbersome immutability options on the market right now. We wanted Arcserve Cyber Resilient Storage to be a counterweight to that and provide a simplified, cost-effective, and fully integrated option that works well with your Arcserve products. It fits seamlessly into your data protection stack, enabling a single, easy-to-use interface for backup and storage. It. Just. Works.
