Trustify Adds Cyber Resilience With Data2Vault’s Cloud Backup and Ransomware Recovery Services

Trustify Ltd. and Data2Vault Ltd., an Asigra, Inc. hybrid partner, announced they are integrating Cloud Backup and Attack-Loop, zero-day malware detection with the Trustify Cybersecurity platform, Trust365.

Cyber resilience ensures organisations can successfully recover from a cyberattack and with the increase in ransomware activity, receiving an early warning that your Microsoft365 or Windows network data is infected with zero-day malware is invaluable to ensuring preparedness, recoverability and resilience.

When it comes to cybersecurity, there are no prizes for second place. You need a provider who can both see the big picture and deal with the finer details. When it’s all or nothing, you need Trust365.

The main product of our four-year service development program has been the delivery of a ‘Trust Services Platform’ for mid and large enterprise organisations facing the challenges of the cloud, DX and IoT. It combines PKI Automation for enterprise identity and trust requirements, with a strong chain of trust solution to address the challenges of discovery, authentication, enrolment, encryption, monitoring, and updating of devices in all IT/IoT environs. Automating proven, and standards-based crypto technologies to plug the gap between legacy PKI services and the emergence of yet unproven blockchain applications. This is complemented by a suite of SaaS-based applications including TrustiMail and TrustiComms – both proven in the military and intelligence agency environs.

For SMEs (1-250 seats), and due to launch in October 2021, Datasurance delivers complete cover for your critical data – the 1s and 0s which are the lifeblood of every organisation. Datasurance partners with some of the biggest names in data security, trusted identity, and insurance – Munich RE, Marsh Commercial, and Experian to name a few.

Ransomware gangs are launching ever more sophisticated attacks, targeting organisations operating conventional IT backup and DR solutions that fail to provide cyber resilience. Combatting these attacks requires a multi-layered response, and Trustify’s services incorporating Attack Loop cyber protection work across a number of key areas to alert on infection, quarantine contaminated files, protect backup files and safeguard the data in use within key applications.

Should you worry about ransomware infecting your network or Microsoft365 data?
Yes, you should. By all measures, over the last 24 months ransomware has become the largest single Cyber threat to IT operations and BC. According to cyber insurers and cybersecurity providers, cloud data is now encrypted by ransomware in 59% of incidents reported..

Ransomware is regularly combined with either business email compromise and invoice fraud, or the exfiltration of data, that is then sold on the dark web if a fee is not paid. In their latest study IBM and Ponemon Institute concluded that the average time between a cyber breach and detection is now 207 days, during that time evolved ransomware is infecting corporate data in Microsoft365 and offsite backup files every day. TrustiBrands has seen a 200x increase in these attacks.

Air-gapped backups, immutable copies, scanning snapshots or scanning backup files using pattern matching technology will not prevent a successful ransomware attack in 2021 and beyond. As the data gets infected, so do the daily backup files, irrespective of whether they are stored locally, offsite or in immutable storage. Scanning backup and recovery files for zero-day exploits and protecting backup files from deletion is the only way to combat evolved ransomware.

Sean Chandiram, director, Trustify Partner, commented: “Adding the Asigra Attack-Loop service from Data2Vault to the mix of what we already have within the Trust365 portfolio is enhancing the client’s journey within the channel and making what we secure even more compelling. Moreover, it is fully complementary to our product sets.” He went on to add “organisations need to face up to the fact that backing-up data is one thing, but ensuring it’s clean and recovering the data in the event of a breach or attack is something completely different and a critical necessity.“

Mark Saville, director, Data2Vault, commented: “We welcome the opportunity to work closely with Trustify and their channel partners to add our complementary services to the innovative Trust365 Cybersecurity platform” he went on to add “organisations are becoming much more aware of Cyber Resilience, being able to successfully recover when, not if you have a cyber incident, is absolutely essential.“

If you have suffered a cyber breach, scanning with Asigra Attack-Loop will tell you immediately if malware is embedded in your data, at which point the data can be quarantined or deleted, and the data in the backup files will remain clean.
