Ransomware attacks don’t just lock up your live systems, they target your backups too. Cybercriminals know that if they can compromise your recovery process, they’ve got you trapped.
Immutable storage has been a huge step forward in cyber resilience, but immutability alone doesn’t stop malware from hiding in your backups. If ransomware is already lurking inside your immutable copies, all you’re doing when you restore is reinfecting your own systems.
This is why Silverstring’s Cyber Resilient Data Storage & Recovery, powered by IBM FlashSystem and Predatar, isn’t just about keeping backups safe. It’s about making sure they’re clean and recoverable.
The Illusion of Secure Backups
For years, businesses have focused on backup protection, ensuring their data copies can’t be altered or deleted by an attacker. But today’s threats are more sophisticated.
Cybercriminals are now embedding malware into backups, waiting weeks or even months before triggering an attack. This means many businesses unknowingly store infected data, believing they have a secure fallback. That is until they try to recover and find themselves in an endless cycle of reinfection.
The real question isn’t just “Can I restore my backups?” It’s “Can I trust them?”
How We Make Backups Trustworthy Again
Silverstring’s Cyber Resilient Data Storage & Recovery takes a zero-trust approach to backup recovery. Instead of assuming backups are clean, we continuously validate, scan, and test them before they are ever used in production.
Key Pillars of True Cyber Resilience:
Immutable Storage with IBM FlashSystem
- Ultra-fast performance with AI-driven efficiencies
- Immutable snapshots ensure backups can’t be tampered with
- End-to-end encryption for added security
Predatar Recovery Assurance
- AI-powered malware scanning detects hidden threats before recovery
- Forensic validation ensures backups are genuinely clean
- Cleanroom testing isolates and verifies recovery points before use
The Future of Cyber Recovery Starts Now
Backup strategies need to evolve as cyber threats grow more advanced. It’s no longer enough to store data securely, you need to ensure it’s recoverable.
That’s why Silverstring is redefining cyber resilience. If you’re relying on traditional backup methods, it’s time to ask yourself:
If ransomware hit today, could you trust your backups?
