Insider Protection

One of the most effective weapons against cybercriminals might reside in a recycle bin.

Cybercriminals are getting smarter and more persistent every day. According to one estimate, hackers attempt a ransomware attack every 11 seconds. Before an attack, it’s now common for cybercriminals to steal your credentials and delete your backup files, creating a catastrophic situation where your primary data is encrypted and the backup data you planned to use to recover from is gone forever.

Make your backups impenetrable.

With FirstLight’s Insider Protection, recently deleted backup files reside in an off-site recycle bin for a minimum of 7 days. This repository serves as a lockbox that is inaccessible to hackers or malicious insiders. To retrieve deleted backup files, simply call and verify your identity with FirstLight’s cloud operations team, and recover your data. It’s that easy.
