Imagine walking into the office tomorrow… and everything is gone.
Not accidentally deleted. Not misplaced.
Locked. Encrypted. Held hostage by cybercriminals demanding a massive ransom.
This is ransomware—and it’s exploding. In the first quarter of 2025 alone, attacks skyrocketed 84% year-over-year. It’s no longer a question of if your business might be hit. It’s when.
And here’s a stat that’ll make your stomach drop:
66% of businesses were hit by ransomware in the last two years.
Even worse? Most thought they were protected… until they found out their backups had been wiped too.
Yes, attackers go straight for your backups. They know your safety net—and they’re cutting the cord.
So, what’s the best protection?
Immutable backup storage.
If you’ve never heard of it, here’s why you’ll want it yesterday.
Immutable = can’t be changed. Can’t be deleted. Even by you.
That means once your data is saved, not even a rogue administrator—or a hacker who’s breached your systems—can touch it. It’s like locking your most critical files in a digital vault with no delete button.
You keep the keys. Not the criminals.
How does it work?
In the old days, we used “air-gapped” backups—physically disconnected storage devices. But let’s face it, that’s clunky, outdated, and not scalable.
Modern immutable backups are smarter. Cloud-based, secure, and accessible when you need them—but still completely untouchable by ransomware.
So why isn’t everyone using this?
Great question.
Even though 81% of IT pros agree it’s the strongest defense against ransomware… only 59% of businesses have implemented it.
That’s a risky gap.
Because here’s the brutal truth: Firewalls and antivirus alone won’t save you. Ransomware is sneaky. It finds a way in. And when it does, your backups are your last line of defense.
But they have to be bulletproof.
Adopt a “Breach Mentality”
The smartest businesses today assume an attack will happen.
They focus on recovery, not just prevention.
That’s the mindset that wins.
That’s what keeps you operating—even when the worst hits.
And that’s why immutable backup storage isn’t just smart—it’s essential.
