Arcserve Southern Africa has revealed that the global\nalliance between Arcserve, LLC, an experienced data protection provider, and\nSophos, a leader in network and endpoint security, holds great significance for\nthe South African market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThrough this collaboration, organisations can now employ\nthe only market solution that integrates anti-ransomware and other threat prevention technologies, such as Deep Learning AI for\nboth known and unknown malware, and award-winning disaster recovery and high\navailability capabilities for prevention against data loss,\u201d said Byron\nHorn-Botha, Lead: Arcserve Southern Africa Channel and\nPartnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTogether, the new solution delivers a multi-layered approach to prevent, protect and immunise backup data from cyberattacks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A report issued by Cybersecurity Ventures predicts the\nglobal cost of ransomware will reach US$6 trillion by 2021, with an attack on\nbusinesses every 14 seconds by the end of this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith cybercriminals continuously taking advantage of\nenterprises to turn profits, this alliance will provide businesses with a\ntwo-pronged approach to cyber-readiness and IT resilience,\u201d added Horn-Botha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBy combining both cybersecurity and data protection\ncapabilities into a single offering, companies will have a comprehensive\nsolution that fully covers all their infrastructure needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The joint solution will be delivered via Arcserve\u2019s\naward-winning Appliance Series, the only turnkey self-contained appliances for\ndisaster recovery and application availability. Powered by Arcserve Unified\nData Protection (UDP), the Arcserve Appliance Series combines flash-accelerated\ndeduplicated storage, robust server processing and high-speed networking with\nhighly redundant hardware and cloud services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIncreasingly, cybercriminals are targeting backup\nsystems as a way to increase the odds that compromised businesses will make a\nransom payment,\u201d said Francois Depayras, Sophos\u2019 Vice President of OEM Sales\nand Alliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHaving dedicated protection from both malware and the\nlatest exploits ensures the backup data will stand strong against the most\nadvanced threats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSophos Intercept X for Server provides anti-ransomware, anti-exploit and Deep Learning technology to provide the highest level of protection. This makes the Arcserve Appliance the most secure solution available in the market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oussama El-Hilali, CTO for Arcserve says that too many\norganisations are being forced to have the \u2018how do we pay ransom\u2019 conversation.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe saw a market gap that needed to be filled, and Sophos\nwas the natural fit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe know data protection and they know cybersecurity. As\nthreats become more difficult to combat, this alliance is transformative in the\nindustry, taking our cyber protection to the next level and providing partners\nwith the opportunity to educate customers on the unique benefits of an\nintegrated, two-pronged defence against cybercrime.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
