When is the last time you completed an assessment of your backup environment?

Hackers are now focused on attacking your backup environments as their priority. They are now more sophisticated and experienced with their enterprise environment attacks. In recent months hackers have been ransomware attacks, completing targeted campaigns on backup environments. IT leaders often turn to their Commvault backup solutions to restore their data as a last line of defense. Your backup data protection environment is now becoming the initial target of these daily attacks.

Instead of going straight for the crown jewels (Your primary environments), hackers are now disarming users, then destroy the backup environment to remove your safety net, and then go after your primary environments before demanding a ransom or threatening leak of confidential information or personal data causing embarrassment if payment isn’t received. In response to this, we’ve developed our robust 21-point security assessment for Commvault based backup environments.
