Enterprise Restore Case Study

Today, we want to share a success story that highlights the importance of having a robust backup strategy in place for virtualised environments. A company recently faced a ransomware attack that targeted their virtualised infrastructure, causing widespread disruption. However, due to their proactive approach to data protection, they were able to fully recover their environment on the same day using their Cloud Backup solution.

The company's virtualised environment, consisting of critical servers and applications, was hit by a sophisticated ransomware attack that encrypted data and rendered systems inaccessible. This could have led to significant downtime and data loss, impacting business operations and customer trust.

Fortunately, the company had implemented a comprehensive backup strategy that included regular backups of their virtual machines to a secure cloud environment. This proved to be a lifesaver when the ransomware attack occurred.

Upon discovering the attack, the IT team immediately isolated the affected systems to prevent further spread of the ransomware. They then contacted us and we initiated the recovery process using their Cloud Dolphin Cloud Backup solution.

The backup solution allowed them to restore the virtual machines to a state before the ransomware infection, effectively undoing the damage caused by the attack. Thanks to the efficiency of the backup and recovery process, the company was able to resume normal operations within hours, minimising downtime and ensuring business continuity.

This incident underscores the critical role that backups play in cybersecurity and disaster recovery planning. Businesses must regularly review and test their backup strategies to ensure they can quickly recover from unforeseen events like ransomware attacks. By leveraging cloud-based backup solutions and following best practices, organisations can mitigate the impact of cyber threats and protect their valuable data and systems.
