Tech Talk: Why Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage for Ransomware Mitigation?

With 73% of businesses suffering a ransomware attack last year, preventing an attack doesn’t seem likely. However, that doesn’t mean you need to lose your data or pay the ransom to recover your data. Immutable backups in the cloud are a proven ransomware mitigation strategy for ensuring that no one can delete or encrypt your data. And with Wasabi’s exclusive Multi-User Authentication feature, hackers can’t delete your cloud storage account either—even if they have your root account credentials!
