Datto protects businesses against ransomware attacks and ensures control and ownership remain undisrupted.
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts or locks your files and demands payment to access them. Although there are multiple strains of ransomware, all fall under two main types: crypto-ransomware and locker ransomware.
Regardless of the strain, ransomware is a criminal money-making scheme that is triggered by tricking users into clicking on deceptive links using social engineering tactics or by exploiting system vulnerabilities.
Some strains go a step further and mark the files for permanent deletion. The perpetrators then demand ransom payments (usually in untraceable cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin) for the private key required to decrypt and access the files.
To prevent attacks like this, managed service providers (MSPs) should adopt a layered approach that includes employee education, IT security, and business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) technology to achieve the best possible cyber resilience for your business and their clients.
The first step to protecting IT systems is to keep them patched and up to date. Datto RMM delivers effective policy-based patch management to keep clients’ machines secure. Datto RMM also takes the next step on ransomware defense by including native Ransomware Detection which monitors for crypto-ransomware and attempts to kill the virus to help reduce the impact of an attack.
Identifying attacks is step one in reducing the impact of a ransomware attack, and with Datto RMM and Autotask PSA, you can proactively respond. Datto RMM monitoring alerts are intelligently routed into Autotask PSA so technicians can focus on top-priority tickets. An intelligent alert-to-ticket engine reduces noise, strips out duplicates, and updates tickets with any new status from Datto RMM.
The last line of defense is all about protecting and recovering your data. No matter what the cybercriminals target, Datto SIRIS will protect physical, virtual, and cloud infrastructures and data. With Datto SIRIS, not only can you protect your data, but you can also recover rapidly to minimize downtime. SIRIS also detects ransomware within backups, saving time when locating your last clean system restore point.
Ransomware can impact data stored in cloud applications, too, so it’s critical that business data in the cloud is secure. Datto SaaS protection eliminates the risk of becoming a victim of a ransomware attack. Even if ransomware locks your data on cloud-based applications like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, with Datto SaaS Protection data is easily recovered.
“When a client was infected with ransomware that encrypted and locked their files, there was no need to panic. Without Datto, the amount of data loss and downtime in cases like this would be cripling.”
