#AI is driving powerful business transformation, but it’s also helping cybercriminals develop more sophisticated ransomware attacks. Join our monthly product demo this Thursday to find out how you can protect your data from AI-powered ransomware threats and ensure recovery after an attack. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4cFz176

96% of ransomware attacks target backup data. If attackers can take out your backups, they know you'll pay. Anthony Cusimano with Studio C60 / ITSPmagazine explains why most organizations don't realize this until it's too late.

Ransomware actors don't attack blindly. They lie low, find your backup storage, and take it out first, because without recovery, you have no choice but to pay. Anthony Cusimano breaks down with Information Security Media Group (ISMG) why backups are now the primary target, and what that means for your security posture.

When #ransomware strikes, paying the ransom rarely guarantees full data recovery. This is because data is frequently corrupted during the encryption process itself, making a "clean" restore impossible even with a decryption key. To protect against this risk, Gartner® recommends that cybersecurity leaders include immutable data backups as one part of their pre-incident prevention strategy. Access this complimentary report to find out why, in our opinion, immutable data backups are your last line of defense, ensuring resilience when other measures fail.

AI-powered attacks are rewriting the rules of modern data protection. Attackers now weaponize agentic AI to coordinate breaches, mimicking the voices of real people — from CEOs to government officials — enabling social engineering tactics that bypass traditional identity verification. When intelligent malware like Agent Tesla can learn to hide from detection tools, traditional prevention is no longer enough. Download our newest white paper to discover how AI is reshaping cyberattack strategies and why backup storage with Absolute Immutability is your last line of defense against AI-powered attacks. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4m4YXNY #DataProtection #RansomwareRecovery #AIThreats
