Ransomware attacks involve the deployment of malware that blocks access to a user’s or organization’s computer files by encrypting them. The attackers then demand a ransom payment in exchange for the decryption key that will restore access to the files. These attacks are often directed at governments and corporations, and can be costly.

Veeam is a data storage system that was designed specifically to provide protection against ransomware attacks. Object First is a system that works with Veeam to increase its safety and security.

Anthony Cusimano is the Director of Technical Marketing at Object First and he joins the podcast to talk about the growing sophistication of ransomware attacks and the emerging technologies to block them.
