- Simplified, failproof DR with instant Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
- Data resilience and business continuity for all of your VMware workloads including those running on-premises, in Edge environments, and in the cloud
- Rapid recovery from ransomware - without paying the attackers a dime

When a ransomware attack hits, you can either pay up or fight back. Learn the steps to fight back effectively and recover your data. You’ll learn why traditional backup solutions are no longer sufficient to recover from attacks and how to leverage the public cloud for DR. We’ll demonstrate:
-Best practices for preventing data loss due to a ransomware attack
-How to quickly fail over to a clean environment
-How to restore and recover your data to a pristine state

From cities and hospitals to large enterprises and even technology firms, ransomware has become the scourge of every IT team in 2020. In a recent survey, "Ransomware and Disaster Recovery During COVID-19", hundreds of IT professionals reported that all of their companies had experienced a ransomware attack in the last 12 months.

In this webcast, we'll demonstrate the steps to fight back effectively and recover your data after a ransomware attack. You'll learn:
