On ITSPmagazine hashtag#Webinars:
🚨 94% of hashtag#ransomware victims had their hashtag#backups attacked.
Let that sink in for a moment.

Organizations spend thousands on backup solutions. They follow best practices. They sleep better thinking their data is safe. But here's the uncomfortable truth: if your storage can be compromised, it will be.

In our latest ITSPmagazine webinar, I sat down with Sean Martin, CISSP and Anthony Cusimano from Object First to expose a critical gap in most backup strategies.

The statistics are not looking good:
→ 93% of hashtag#cyberattacks specifically target hashtag#backupstorage
→ Most "immutable" solutions aren't really immutable at all
→ Organizations don't even realize their backups are sitting ducks

As Anthony revealed: "People don't even know what they don't know."
The ransomware playbook is devastatingly simple: take out the backups, hold companies hostage, get paid. And here's the kicker - many attackers have no idea how to actually restore the data even after receiving the ransom.

This conversation isn't just about technology. It's about protecting livelihoods, businesses, and the people who depend on them.
