Advanced anomaly detection anticipates ransomware attacks with early detection of encrypted data.
Determine the last known clean system image in isolation from your production network.
Ransomware detection seamlessly integrated into system image updates.
The Cristie Software team has integrated patented technologies to detect malicious encryption and file renaming during every BMR system capture process. With Advanced Anomaly Detection, the system performs integrity scans between image updates to detect encryption. Analysis can also be scheduled independently from regular image updates.
Rapid detection of anomalies in data structure and naming can provide the earliest warning of malicious encryption and an active cyberattack. Having the ability to detect and alert on activity which may be suspicious means that potential ransomware attacks can be identified in motion and immediate action taken.
CBMR is a simple, yet powerful, backup software solution that creates a backup of your entire system as well as the data files and databases that you specify. The backup can be held on a network share, a tape device, a library, a standalone NAS or using Spectrum Protect.
The software will also provide quick recovery of the operating system in the event of system failure or human error. The recovered machine can be on dissimilar hardware or on a virtual or cloud machine.
CBMR also provides the ability to clone to a new machine from an existing backup. The cloning option allows the hostname and/or the IP address to be changed during the recovery.
CBMR allows you to backup data on your system to any backup location attached to your computer or network, including FTP (Windows only), tape, VMware, Hyper-V, Spectrum Protect and AWS and OCI public clouds. You can then examine the content of the backup and restore any desired files or directories.
Given the rapid spread of ransomware encryption within a compromised network, it is highly probable that earlier system images will contain malware. In such cases, extensive cyber forensic investigation is typically required to identify the “last known clean” system image that can serve as a safe restore point. This process can be time-consuming, leading to prolonged downtime and revenue losses. However, Cristie Software’s anomaly detection capability can help expedite this process. By comparing images against multiple snapshots of previous backups, anomalies can be detected, reducing the time required for investigation. Additionally, system images from any specific point in time can be recovered to a sandbox environment for analysis, preventing further infection of the production environment.
