Ransomware Protection

Ransomware attacks can be devastating. It is crucial to protect your data. Commvault monitors client computers for unusual activity and alerts users with details.

You can also protect the mount path from external processes, thus protecting your backed-up data. Commvault offers several methods to protect your data.

Storing data in offline storage

It is recommended that data be kept in secondary storage such as tape, Hyperscale appliance, or cloud storage. These media are useful for storing ransomware protection mode data, which is difficult to access by Ransomware attacks.
