iSecurity Anti-Ransomware vs. Rubrik

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.

A logical air gap prevents attackers from discovering your backups and enhances security. Our unique append-only file system ensures that backup data remains inaccessible to cybercriminals. To further safeguard your backups, you can globally enforce multi-factor authentication, effectively barring unauthorized access. Instead of managing hundreds or even thousands of backup jobs, you can streamline operations by implementing just a few comprehensive policies. It’s crucial to apply the same protective measures to all workloads, whether they are hosted on-premises or in the cloud. Archiving your data to your cloud provider's blob storage is a smart strategy for long-term preservation. With real-time predictive searching capabilities, accessing archived data becomes a swift and efficient process. You can conduct searches throughout your entire environment, down to the specific file level, allowing you to choose the optimal time for recovery. Recovery processes can be completed in mere hours rather than the days or weeks typically required. In collaboration with Microsoft, Rubrik is dedicated to helping businesses enhance their cyber-resilience. By storing immutable copies in a Rubrik-hosted cloud environment that is distinctly separated from your core workloads, you can significantly mitigate the risks of data loss, theft, and backup data breaches, ultimately ensuring the integrity and security of your information. This approach not only fortifies your defenses but also promotes a more streamlined backup and recovery experience across your organization.
