Together with Google Cloud, the Persistent Intelligent Cyber Recovery (PiCR) solution provides a scalable cyber recovery approach, allowing organizations to reduce data loss and minimize the negative impact to brand reputation from prolonged downtime. PiCR is available on the Google Cloud Marketplace.

Hackers are increasing the frequency and scale of ransomware attacks. They are using continually evolving and sophisticated techniques, which makes recovery from attacks more challenging. These attacks may lead to sensitive data leakage, loss of business, and damage to brand reputation. It is crucial for organizations to focus on protection against cyberattacks and also strengthen their recovery process.

Traditional backup and DR solutions are not designed for recovery from cyber-attacks. PiCR includes tailored recovery plans, Persistent IP for finding and remediating malware, and the optional managed services to administer the recovery process. The firm’s solution integrates with Google Cloud to provide a secure recovery environment and Google Cloud Backup and DR for protecting the server images.

PiCR offers following benefits:

• Reduction in data loss
• Decreased risk of recurrent attacks through the removal of malware
• Faster recovery from ransomware and zero-day attacks (from weeks/months to hours/days)
• Potential cyber insurance cost reduction
• Scalable solution depending on enterprise size challenges

Nitha Puthran, SVP, cloud, infrastructure and security, said: “The digital environment today is constantly evolving and so are the risks associated with it. We are leveraging our strong relationship with Google Cloud and our product engineering expertise to create an industry-leading solution that allows enterprises to recover faster from cyber-attacks, thereby reducing the impact on their business.“

PiCR combines strategic planning and the creation of playbooks, integration with Google Cloud services and the firm’s own IP to find anomalies that indicate malware, remove the malware, and use automation to set up test and production environments to scale. It takes a services and product mindset to create a solution like PiCR and the company is positioned in the market to deliver both.

Dai Vu, MD, marketplace and ISV GTM programs, Google, said: “As cyber threats become more prevalent, customers need solutions that can help them quickly address and recover from cyberattacks. With the Persistent’s Intelligent Cyber Recovery (PiCR) solution available on Google Cloud Marketplace, customers can quickly deploy PiCR to their Google Cloud environment and utilize it alongside Google Cloud technologies and capabilities to address cyberattacks quickly and securely.”
