Ransomware threats are increasingly targeting backup infrastructure, the last line of defense for many organizations. Remote and branch offices, which typically have limited IT resources, offer a point of vulnerability, making them ideal targets and entry points for attack. Taking steps to remedy or better secure on-premise infrastructure is a slow and costly process which leaves both primary and backup environments at risk.

Cloud-based backup offers a remedy to the security, management, and cost challenges of remote office backup and recovery. Removing the need for on-premise backup, isolating backup data, and enabling recovery both locally or in the cloud, provides customers with a new level of resiliency, increases security, and removes management headaches and costs.
