Last Line of Defence

Ian Heptinstall – Veeam
Businesses are losing the battle when it comes to defending against ransomware attacks. In January 2022, an independent research firm surveyed over 1,000 unbiased IT leaders and uncovered that 72% of organisations had partial or complete attacks on their backup repositories. Of the organisations surveyed, the majority (76%) of cyber-victims paid the ransom to end an attack and recover data. Unfortunately, while 52% paid the ransom and were able to recover data, 24% paid the ransom but were still not able to recover data.
In this webinar, we’re joined by Veeam to discuss how your back up and disaster recovery strategy might just be the lifeline that protects your business from a ransomware attack.

Microsoft are tackling this problem head-on and have been working on solutions that boost security and reduce vulnerability for non-profits.
If you are a non-profit organisation looking to strengthen your IT security, this is the ideal webinar for you.
