Say Hello to Endpoint Backups – the most overlooked solution against ransomware. The solution, as it turns out has been staring us all in the face all along.
What if I were to tell you that you already had at your disposal, a way to immunize yourself from ransomware attacks, no matter which variant hits you and when? What if I told you that you didn’t have to place your fate completely in the hands of Microsoft’s or your anti-malware vendor’s capabilities and diligence?

But more than the stats, what I find incredible, is how all the chatter in the media is all around the MS Windows vulnerability, instructions on getting the latest Windows updates, and updating your anti-malware software especially when we know that these steps are only a reactive defense at this point and don’t necessarily do much to prevent the next attack from another ransomware variant. Petya’s stats, although not as staggering as WannaCry, are still damaging. Malware authors have demonstrated over and over how ridiculously easy it is for them to get around the traditional OS and anti-malware defenses. Will there be more attacks? You bet there will be. At the time of writing this Petya has impacted 60+ countries and over 12,000 systems – many of them belonging to large corporations. The world barely recovered from WannaCry before getting hit with Petya. This kind of headline has become so commonplace it carries little shock value anymore.
