[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Backups with Veeam are deemed the best bastion against ransomware. But once the line is breached, only a system like GRAU DATA\u2019s Blocky for Veeam\u00ae can protect your precious backup data.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Statistics show that around 395,000 new malware versions are spawned daily, one smarter than the other. So, the solutions to counter them must be equally intelligent. Given the huge number of existing and new attack scenarios, it is no longer enough to work with blacklists \u00a0to exclude certain types of attack. It is far too easy for new attack patterns to slip through the net. It is therefore better to only allow explicitly permitted applications to access the important backup data and rely on zero trust security. Really important data Security products such as Blocky for Veeam\u00ae by GRAU DATA precisely offer this, providing an effective last line of defense<\/a> to keep backup data safe.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Billions scammed with ransomware<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Application whitelisting, the approach adopted by Blocky for Veeam\u00ae, creates a defense line that effectively blocks malware programs no matter how well they are disguised. Even malware software that has already infiltrated the system can not destroy the backup data![\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

One of the targets of ransomware are backup systems, like those of Veeam\u00ae, the market leader in data replication and data backup. Hacker attacks accompanied by demands for high ransom payments are a common occurrence. In 2019 alone, such demands totaled a hefty \u20ac10 billion according to the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA). \u00a045 % percent of the affected companies and organizations paid up. However, half of them still did not get their data back.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The USA remains the top target<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]As Veeam\u00ae quoted in a trend report<\/a>, drawing on an independent survey of 4,200 IT managers, that year 79% of companies and government bodies had fallen victim to ransomware attacks on at least one occasion.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Blocky uses whitelisting<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]With Blocky for Veeam\u00ae, backup data under attack would have been so well-protected that cyber criminals would have had no chance of-extorting a ransom. Blocky takes a digital fingerprint of every process and prevents any written access if this fingerprint is not explicitly approved for the respective process. And since only the Veeam\u00ae backup application with its fingerprint is whitelisted, data cannot be deleted or manipulated in the backup repository.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_single_image image=”83604″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”10px”][vc_column_text]By contrast, standard defense mechanisms, such as virus scanners are often far too porous.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

WORM & fingerprint technology<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]The WORM (Write Once Read Many) technology integrated in Blocky acts as a protective shield and only allows whitelisted applications to access files via the Windows filter driver. For storing data, the Windows file system thus effectively becomes the WORM file system and Blocky automatically turns the data repository into the WORM volume. This is one of the key functions of Blocky for Veeam\u00ae<\/a>, along with all processes which must be explicitly approved by the relevant administrators based on the fingerprint check. As an additional security feature, the application DLLs are also stored in the fingerprint. Blocky\u2019s WORM technology protects backup data like in a tresor, even if a ransomware has entered the Windows system of the backup server.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Ease of operation, low overhead, and attractive pricing<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]Besides a single-sign-on (SSO) in the active directory, to operate and configure Blocky a separate password is required. In addition, the Blocky software is linked to the Veeam\u00ae repository server via a unique ID. And the good thing is that despite the scalability, Blocky shows a very low overhead. \u00a0No actions are generated when reading and writing. Overhead occurs only for deleting and changing data in the WORM volume and needs approx. 2-3 percent of processer performance.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Another major advantage is that Blocky for Veeam\u00ae is highly scalable. \u00a0It can be perfectly integrated into existing infrastructure, for SMB customers with 50 TB backup data up to enterprises with multiple sides and Petabytes of backup data.<\/p>\n
