Manage episode 474003436 series 3642513
Ransomware is evolving, and attackers aren’t just encrypting your files—they’re deleting your backups to leave you with no way out. So, how do you fight back? Immutable snapshots.
In this episode, we dive into how immutable snapshots work, why they’re the best defense against ransomware, and how you can set them up on your NAS storage. Unlike traditional backups, immutable snapshots can’t be changed, deleted, or encrypted—even by an admin account under attack.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
✅ How ransomware targets and destroys backups
✅ What makes immutable snapshots “unbreakable”
✅ How to set up and automate immutable snapshots on NAS
✅ The difference between snapshots and traditional backups
✅ Real-world examples of businesses recovering instantly from attacks
