iSecurity Anti-Ransomware vs. ESET PROTECT Advanced

Strengthened Ransomware Protection for IFS. The iSecurity Anti-Ransomware solution provides robust protection against ransomware and various malware threats that may compromise IBM i data within the IFS. By preventing ransomware from accessing vital information, it guarantees that system performance remains stable and unobstructed. Today, IBM i systems are integral components of larger networks, interfacing with multiple databases and systems. Companies should consider updating their IBM i servers by adopting APIs, microservices, and modern user interfaces to optimize data utilization and enhance operational workflows. Data stored in the IFS operates similarly to any files available on a networked PC. Ransomware indiscriminately targets any file that is accessible, potentially affecting connected devices, network drives, shared local networks, and cloud storage services associated with an infected machine. The nature of ransomware is such that it encrypts all reachable data files, including those in the IFS, underscoring the urgent necessity for effective protective strategies. As threats continue to evolve, it is increasingly important to uphold stringent security measures to guard vital business information, ensuring a resilient defense against emerging risks. Additionally, fostering a culture of security awareness within organizations can further strengthen these efforts.
