Arcserve Moves to Bankrupt Cyber Criminals; Joins Forces with Data Security Experts to Fight RansomwareMINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The devastating impact of ransomware has magnified beyond individual organizations to the global community’s ability to keep consumer and business data safe. Arcserve, LLC, whose breakthrough data protection and availability solutions deliver enterprise power with small team simplicity, today announced Ransomware Watch, a consortium comprised of the leading innovators in data security focused on educating and equipping organizations in the fight against ransomware. Arcserve, in partnership with Infoblox, KnowBe4, Maureen Data Systems, ThreatTrack (VIPRE Security), and Webroot, unveiled Ransomware Watch to arm organizations with new reports and cutting-edge interactive tools, including a ransomware simulator and system analyzer, to quickly evaluate how “ransomware-proof” they really are. Visitors are also encouraged to sign up for breaking news alerts of new ransomware viruses. “The number one lesson to be learned from recent cyber attacks, such as WannaCry and NotPetya, is that most businesses are dangerously unprepared for them. Every type and size of organization is vulnerable – in fact, research suggests a company is hit with ransomware every 40 seconds,” said Christophe Bertrand, Vice President of Product Marketing, Arcserve. “Information is the single greatest weapon in the fight against this growing threat, which is why we’ve brought together leading data security experts, irrespective of individual business objectives, to form this consortium.” A Trusted, One-Stop Source to Combat Ransomware “As a leader in data protection for more than 25 years, Arcserve has witnessed hundreds of businesses hit with ransomware attacks,” said Erica Antony, Vice President of Product Management, Arcserve. “It’s much easier to avoid an attack than retrieve data once an attack has begun, thus education and modern disaster avoidance technology desperately need to coexist to keep organizations safe.” Understanding the Impact of Ransomware
