GRAU DATA has announced the general availability of Blocky for Veeam, which protects Veeam backups by denying any file access from unauthorised application processes, amid heightened demand for protection from increasingly sophisticated malware attacks. More sophisticated and targeted malware attacks combined with work from home as a new normal, has opened a vulnerability when it comes to IT security, particularly within midmarket companies.
Whereas in the past, businesses could count on restoring from backups, malware can incrementally overwrite and encrypt backups, rendering them inadequate as an insurance policy against ransomware. Blocky for Veeam was developed through a technology partnership between GRAU DATA and Cristie Data to counter this growing challenge.
