Ransomware-resistant WORM archives for data backup

A data archive is a must for every company. Few people know: An active WORM archive can help to streamline data backup, save costs and prepare for future requirements. It is also resistant to ransomware thanks to insurmountable hardware sealing! In many films, officers are sent to the archives as punishment after making mistakes.

Sustainability is also when existing, older devices are compatible with the latest developments, such as many Silent Cubes. According to a current study by the European Parliament, around 14% of the e-waste collected in Germany is made up of IT and telecommunications equipment. The countless old devices, especially notebooks and smartphones, which are rarely recycled, are not taken into account. In German companies, the entire old IT infrastructure is replaced with new devices every four years on average, while a smartphone…

Mind the (Air) Gap

The reliable backup, organization and archiving of your company data must have top priority. In times of cyber war, phishing and ransomware attacks, data backup plays a crucial role. An excellent protection against data theft or misuse is air gap (or air gapping). We explain why air gaps are essential for reliable and cost-effective backup.
