With ransomware attacks and natural disasters becoming more common, redundant back-ups are a priority. An off-site, cloud back-up solution is imperative to reduce risk of data loss. Don’t take a chance on losing data and becoming another news story. Join many other government entities with this added piece of mind within your operations.

We urge everyone to follow the guidance issued by the CDC, the World Health Organization, and your local and state officials. Stay safe and be well.

“Last year in 2016, ransomware attacks grew at a blistering pace. In total, SonicWall reports 638 million. That’s more than 167 times the number of attacks in 2015.  Beyond the staggering volume of the attacks, there’s the huge sums of money that individuals and organizations paid to (hopefully) get their files decrypted. Though it’s difficult to give a truly accurate total — not everyone hit by ransomware is keen to talk about such incidents — SonicWall’s report estimates that around $209 million in ransoms were paid in the first quarter of 2016 alone.  Here’s another alarming note from the report: less than half of victims who were attacked were able to fully recover their data. That indicates a couple of things. One is that you can’t always rely on ransomware to fully restore your files. The other is that it’s critically important to make sure that you have a bulletproof backup plan that’s actually backing up your files properly and storing them somewhere safe.”   (Forbes 2/7/17)
