To gather insights on the current and future state of the cloud, we talk- ed to IT executives from 33 companies about their, and their clients’, use of the cloud. Here’s who we talked to:
Ransomware prevention is great, but what if an attack succeeds? In order to have optimum recovery success, a well-crafted response plan should already be in place.
The ubiquity of cloud infrastructure coupled with reliable broadband paved the way for cloud backup and disaster recovery (BDR) services. But cloud-based BDR also introduces some practical dilemmas.
BackupAssist Software, division of Australian Cortex I.T. Labs Pty Ltd, announced the availability launch of BackupAssist 365, a cloud-to-local solution that enables customers to automatically download emails and files from the cloud and keep a local backup copy on-premise for BC, long-term retention and discovery while minimizing regulatory compliance and security risks.
BackupAssist, a leading provider of automated Windows server backup and recovery software for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), has announced the general availability launch of BackupAssist 365, an easy to use cloud-to-local solution that enables customers to automatically download emails and files from the cloud and keep a local backup copy on-premise for business continuity, long-term retention and discovery while minimizing regulatory compliance and security risks.
Cloud computing is so enticing because it represents a way to utilize the resources of a virtual host via a pay-per-usage model with almost unlimited scalability, low cost storage, and resources on demand. Moreover, the cloud provides intrinsically layered security which would seemingly reinforce data protection.
BackupAssist 365 backs up files and emails stored in the cloud. While backup of cloud-based data may seem rather ho-hum in today’s artificial intelligent, block chain obsessed, digital transformation focused world, it solves a real world that nearly every size organization faces: how to cost-effectively and simply protect all those pesky files and emails that people store in cloud applications such as DropBox, Office 365, Google Drive, OneDrive, Gmail, Outlook and others.
BackupAssist 365 can be set to automatically download files and email mailboxes from the cloud to an on-premises device, creating local backups as a cloud-to-cloud alternative.
BackupAssist thinks that being able to back up cloud data locally, with minimal storage requirements, will appeal to MSPs and lead to a surge of new MSP partners.

MELBOURNE, Australia and BOSTON, June 19, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BackupAssist®, a leading provider of automated Windows server backup and recovery software for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), today announced it has been named to the Backup Review “Top 100 Cloud Backup Companies for June 2018.”
Data storage backup has evolved considerably over the last two decades. Tape once prevailed with organizations running full backups either every night or each week. Tape cartridge after tape cartridge would be shipped off site for that rainy day they hoped would never come.
One of the biggest challenges that small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) face is protecting their critical data in an era of increasing cybercrime. While it’s often the Fortune 500 companies that make the headlines when data-related disasters strike, ransomware attacks present a serious problem to all businesses worldwide, regardless of size. Smaller firms must face the real threat of a ransomware attack just like larger firms, since SMBs and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are being targeted alongside larger companies.

As ransomware attacks continue to proliferate worldwide, government agencies are looking for new ways to protect their data. In response, BackupAssist is introducing software designed to detect ransomware attacks at the data level and stop them from spreading across the network.
Robust enough for enterprise deployment but offered at a dramatically more affordable price point, the new software enables small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) to protect against having their backups encrypted and held for ransom.
BackupAssist Software, a Windows server backup and recovery vendor, introduced CryptoSafeGuard, a new ransomware protection product for the small and medium-sized business market.
BackupAssist this week added a CryptoSafeGaurd capability to its backup and recovery software that prevents files that have been infected with malware from being backed up in the first place.
BackupAssist explains that CryptoSafeGuard protects backups from ransomware by stopping infected files from being backed up and prevents backups from being encrypted. It is designed to complement existing anti-malware solutions by adding an extra layer of detection at the data level, while also providing extra shielding around backups.

BackupAssist launches this Ransomware Protection tool for Small and Medium-Sized Businesses (SMBs). The new software protects backups from encryption by Ransomware.

Windows data protection specialist BackupAssist is the latest vendor to provide a capability that helps combat ransomware.
The Australia-based company recently launched CryptoSafeGuard, part of its BackupAssist data protection software for SMBs. The application includes CryptoSafeGuard Detector and CryptoSafeGuard Protector for the ransomware backup strategy.
The industry has been seeing attacks in which malicious software invades end-user PCs and encrypts user files. This type of attack is described as "ransomware." The end-user or the organization is offered the key to decrypt the files, for a price. If the price is paid, the key is not always provided. The WannaCry ransomware attack is a recent example.
BackupAssist believes that it has a solution, CryptoSafeGuard, for this problem for mid-market organizations using Windows software. CryptoSafeGuard monitors end-user systems while backing up changing data files. If it observes an attempt to rapidly change entire directories or entire filesystems, it steps in to protect the off-system backups, notify administrators and restore the previous environment. Here's how the company describes CryptoSafeGuard:
In today’s exclusive IT Briefcase interview, BackupAssist’s CEO, Linus Chang, shares his thoughts on the growing and continuous threat of ransomware – not only across enterprise environments, but the small-to-medium business (SMB) space as well; and what organizations can do to protect against infection and ensure they never need pay ransom again.
Ransomware is one of the biggest threat to any business of whatever size. There is only one way to escape once you are in the trap of hackers. And that is to pay the ransom. In fact, depending on the level of the hacker, you never know if the complete data is safe or not.
