Protect, Detect & Recover: The Three Prongs of a Ransomware Defense Strategy for Your Enterprise Files

Increasingly, organizations realize that their ransomware strategy should impact their choice of storage solutions and platforms. According to Gartner, unstructured data stores will triple in size by 2026. This growth leads to a second Gartner prediction that by 2025, 40% of all enterprises will require storage products to have integrated ransomware defenses.

In this paper, we look at how to apply the three core requirements of your ransomware strategy to file data protection.
