PressReleasePing - October 04, 2017 -Melbourne, Australia and BOSTON – BackupAssist®, a leading provider of automated Windows server backup and recovery software for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), today announced that Storage Switzerland, a premier authority on virtualization and storage, has released a Briefing Notes featuring its newly announced BackupAssist CryptoSafeGuard™ ransomware protection entitled, “Can Ransomware Infect Your Backups? – BackupAssist Briefing Note.” In the report, Storage Switzerland’s findings include the fact that one of the biggest challenges with ransomware in a business environment is what some call “infection magnification.” This refers to how malware products start with one infected computer and spread throughout the environment. “Some companies may feel they are protected because they automatically replicate their data via a File Sync and Share product, or to some other type of off-site cloud storage company,” said Curtis Preston, Lead Analyst, Storage Switzerland. “However, replication simply amplifies the infection by replicating the corruption to the cloud, and then back down to other users sharing the same folders.”
