Ransomware has a new target. Is your backup ready?

Ransomware groups are increasingly targeting backup systems to destroy recovery options and intensify pressure on victims to pay ransoms. Kaseya outlines the need for isolated, immutable, and regularly tested backups that remain inaccessible to attackers.

Why it matters: Organizations running production systems need to verify their backup strategy includes offline or air-gapped copies and test restore procedures, since attackers now routinely attempt to compromise backup infrastructure as part of their extortion campaigns.
