Today, Arcserve introduces Arcserve Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suites, defense solutions for small and mid-size organizations that are increasingly the target of persistent AI-generated ransomware attacks. The new Suites protect backup data, validate recoverability, and automate recovery with less operational complexity.
Arcserve Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suites are available now in two subscription tiers - Core and Pro - that speed the adoption of ransomware backup and recovery protection.
Every day, organizational data is held for ransom. While the headlines talk about Fortune 500 attacks, smaller organizations are paying ransoms and losing data but staying out of the news.
Rapid AI advancement helps attackers identify software vulnerabilities, scale convincing phishing and social-engineering campaigns, and accelerate ransomware attacks.
Large enterprises often rely on extensive security teams and an ecosystem of tools, including EDR / XDR, SIEM, SOC analysts, firewalls, patch management, immutable storage, and other high-power, high-budget tools.
Many small and mid-market organizations operate with lean IT and security teams, tight budgets, and competing infrastructure priorities. Often IT projects get postponed or de-prioritized. IT leaders have to balance hardware refresh cycles, ongoing system maintenance against evolving ransomware tactics, and increasing operational demands.

Backup data is critical during a ransomware incident and a primary target for attackers.
With these new Suites, Arcserve helps mid-size and small organizations be confidently prepared for ransomware recovery with the capabilities and insights to know how quickly they can recover, based on regular testing.
A successful backup confirms that data was copied. It says nothing about whether the data copy is clean or whether a restore has been tested against its target. There’s a clear gap between the IT teams that are ready for disaster recovery and teams that only think that they are ready to face ransomware.
That gap is measurable. In the 2026 State of Data Resilience market study, 24% of organizations had never tested a full data recovery. Another 41% reported disaster recovery plans that were out of date.4
Ransomware exposes vulnerabilities at the worst possible moment, making small teams prime attack targets.
Effective ransomware recovery requires more than a backup – and, until now, the elements were separate purchases.
Clean recovery points. Detection of unusual activity in backup data, so mass encryption and bulk deletion surface before a restore decision is made.
A copy that cannot be altered. Cloud-based immutable storage, held offsite in a write-once format.
A restore that has been tested. Documented disaster recovery testing, hands-free, on a schedule, in the cloud, measured against recovery point and recovery time objectives.
Someone who owns the recovery. A defined procedure and an experienced person accountable for running it.
Effective ransomware readiness rests on three pillars, and the new Suites focus on these outcomes:
Protect data before the attack
Protect backup data during the attack
Recover data quickly after the attack
When ransomware hits, who runs the recovery, and what is their experience?
| Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suite Core is designed for teams that have experience with recovery and feel confident they can manage a ransomware attack on their own. |
Arcserve Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suite — Core includes comprehensive data resilience with AI-driven threat detection, plus immutable offsite storage, and automated recovery testing. Backup data stays clean, tamper-proof, and recovery can be demonstrated.
AI-driven detection watches backup data for mass encryption and bulk deletion alongside regular backup malware scans to ensure data is clean before restore. An offsite copy sits in a write-once format that cannot be altered or deleted. Recovery testing runs on a schedule, and measures restores against recovery point and recovery time objectives.
Recovery testing becomes automatic rather than a task waiting for a window in a busy IT schedule to run testing. Cloud-based immutable capacity grows in 1 TB increments. Evidence of testing and retention is produced as part of normal operation rather than assembled the week before a compliance review.
Core fits teams that regularly test restores and have people available to execute during an incident.
| Arcserve Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suite — Pro is designed for IT teams that would be more reassured with the additional support for automated recovery runbooks and an expert human to help guide recovery processes. |
Arcserve Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suite — Pro provides comprehensive data resilience with AI-driven threat detection and malware scans, immutable offsite storage, automated recovery testing, plus tested recovery runbooks. Additionally, this Suite includes the Arcserve Rapid Ransomware Response service, expert technical help during a ransomware emergency, including a named Arcserve Technical Incident Commander, to provide expert coordination and guidance during high-pressure recovery events.
Pro adds two additional and valuable resources: disaster recovery orchestration and experienced human help.
Documented disaster recovery plans define boot order and dependencies, then test hands-free on a schedule in the cloud. Temporary resources deploy just in time and release automatically, so no standby infrastructure accrues cost between tests. Configuration drift surfaces long before an incident rather than during one.
Ransomware recovery support comes from Arcserve directly. A named Arcserve Technical Support Incident Commander takes ownership of the case within 30 minutes of a customer ransomware breach report to Arcserve, 24x7x365. That engineer audits backup integrity to identify the last known clean recovery point and guides recovery into a customer-provided environment. The case closes with a documented post-incident review.
Status updates arrive every 30 to 60 minutes while recovery is active, so leadership stays informed without pulling the IT team off of the work. Before an incident, an eligibility and recoverability onboarding review checks the environment against recovery-readiness standards and documents what needs correcting.
Organizations that have never completed a full recovery test, or that depend on a single backup administrator, generally would choose Pro for backup integrity and recoverability onboarding to make sure all the security best practices are established.
Arcserve Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suite — Pro is essential in organizations where:
A full recovery test has never been completed.
The recovery procedure lives in one person's head.
A single backup administrator would be running the restore alone.
Leadership expects status during an incident that the IT team cannot produce while recovering.
Both tiers are priced below the combined cost of purchasing the included products and services separately.
Current Arcserve customers on subscription or perpetual licenses can move to either Arcserve Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suite — Core or Arcserve Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suite — Pro without losing their original entitlement and existing backup work.
Organizations moving to Arcserve can choose either Suite option for right-sized ransomware recovery solutions designed specifically for lean IT teams.
Both are also strong options for organizations moving to Arcserve from either oversized backup solutions that are hard to manage or undersized point solutions that do not provide recovery expertise.
Arcserve Ransomware Protection and Recovery Suites are available now from Arcserve distributors, value-added resellers, and through the Arcserve sales team.
