Introducing GRAU DATA:

GRAU DATA, with 30 years of software development in data management and archiving, is at the forefront of data protection and combating ransomware. Their expertise lies in developing cutting-edge technologies that protect data against unauthorized access and encryption. One of their notable innovations is Blocky for Veeam, a comprehensive solution designed to enhance Veeam's data protection capabilities and safeguard organizations from ransomware threats.

Blocky for Veeam: A Game-Changing Technology:

In this interview, David Cerf dives deep into the features and advantages of Blocky for Veeam. The technology seamlessly integrates with Veeam's data backup and recovery solutions, adding an extra layer of protection against ransomware attacks. Through a combination of intelligent monitoring, anomaly detection, and swift remediation, Blocky for Veeam detects and neutralizes ransomware threats before they can cause irreparable damage. Blocky is added to a Veeam installation to create a hardened, "Zero Trust" environment that protects your Veeam backup data against ransomware, unauthorized changes, and deletes.

Cerf explains that Blocky is an application firewall. It only allows Veeam access to the backup data, everything else is blocked. It creates a sort of "fingerprint" for each Veeam process accessing the backup files. And it prevents delete or write access if the "fingerprint" is not explicitly matched for each process.

The Veeam Partnership:

Cerf sheds light on GRAU DATA's strategic partnership with Veeam, a global leader in backup and recovery solutions. By collaborating closely, the two companies have been able to leverage their expertise and resources to create a holistic defense against ransomware. David discusses how this partnership has resulted in the seamless integration of Blocky for Veeam with Veeam's existing infrastructure, empowering organizations to proactively protect their data and mitigate the risk of ransomware.

Looking Ahead:

As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats, it is crucial for organizations to adopt robust and proactive measures to safeguard their valuable data. In this interview, David Cerf of GRAU DATA provides invaluable insights into the gravity of the ransomware problem, while offering a glimpse into the future of data protection. With the combination of GRAU DATA's Blocky for Veeam and Veeam's industry-leading solutions, businesses can fortify their defenses and ensure their data remains safe and secure.
