Immutable and Air-Gapped Backups are Dead... Ransomware 3.0 Killed Them
About this talk
As companies bolster their security strategies, attackers are finding new ways of spotting and exploiting vulnerabilities within corporate IT stacks to turn a profit. Many companies have turned to air-gapped and immutable backups as a way of avoiding having to pay ransom payments, yet, this strategy is becoming increasingly weak. As Ransomware 2.0 is often intentionally delayed, laying dormant in order to infect backup infrastructure, and providing attackers valuable time to use stolen login credentials and re-configure settings within backup applications.
In Episode 2 of Asigra’s Original Series, ‘Ransomware 2.0: Shield your data from Attack Loops,’ we’ll be discussing why immutable backups are no longer sufficient to protect company data from ransomware attacks and exploring strategies you can implement to bolster backup security.
Topics for discussion include:
- Understanding how Ransomware 2.0 works and the risk it poses to corporate data
- The fall of traditional ransomware mitigation strategies such as immutable and air-gapped backups
- How attackers are breaking into corporate backups to improve their chances of getting ransom
- Why it is important not to be overconfident in the integrity of your backups.
- And more…

Asigra Tigris Backup is an award-winning agentless enterprise cloud backup & recovery platform that proactively hunts ransomware.
Asigra Tigris is the world’s most secure backup software platform with advanced anti-ransomware properties to protect your enterprise’s last line of defense against hackers. Your backups.
Cybercriminals have adapted to current backup protection techniques like air-gapping and immutability by launching trojan horse Attack-Loops(TM) that embed malware into backups and gets access to stolen credentials to sabotage backup sets.
Asigra reduces risk exposure with multiple layers of protection including bi-directional malware scanning, deep multi-factor authentication, password-free biometric authentication, backup renaming, and a soft delete for administrators.
Asigra utilizes cutting-edge AI-powered bi-directional antimalware scanning, featuring ransomware-focused heuristics and machine learning to catch and kill zero-day threats. By scanning during both backups and restores, Asigra provides a higher degree of confidence that data restores will be malware-free.
And as a truly agentless solution, Asigra provides a much smaller attack vector while also dramatically reducing the administrator effort needed to deploy, manage, and update Asigra software and backups.
No other backup software solution protects your backups like Asigra. Stop hiding from ransomware and start hunting it.
