Paper Title: How Backup to Flash Solves The Ransomware Problem

Paper Abstract: Ransomware will eventually land in your data center despite your best defenses. Organizations of all sizes need a ransomware recovery strategy, yet according to the IDC, 87% of organizations attacked by ransomware PAY the ransom. The primary reason? The backups are not up to date, and the recovery process is too slow. Flash is the answer, but this is backup storage, so flash technology must be deployed judiciously and intelligently. In this session, ransomware recovery expert George Crump will explain the new ransomware threats specifically targeting backups *and* how to defeat these threats. Attendees will walk away from the session with a complete ransomware recovery strategy that they can start implementing the next day.
