Ransomware Detection…  as a Service.

In 96% of ransomware attacks, backups were targeted by threat actors in an attempt to ensure victim organizations couldn’t recover. As part of encrypting operational data, it’s one of the ways organizations can be held for ransom – with no viable way to recover, the only option is to pay the ransom.

But what if you could detect a ransomware attack in a way no threat actor expected? Opti9’s Observr service uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to baseline, monitor, and identify suspicious activity within the backup infrastructure – a leading indicator of a current ransomware attack.

How Does it Work?

Observr monitors for anomalies in backup and replica sizes, retention settings, encryption settings, job modifications, deletions, and more. Observr assigns a threat score based on the anomalous activity and can notify the organization. It can also automatically isolate the organization’s offsite backups and disaster recovery infrastructure to reduce the impact of such attacks.

Observe offers the following benefits:

Observe operates outside your backup infrastructure, remaining completely out of sight from threat actors looking for security solutions running on compromised systems.

Backups are targeted well before any encryption of data occurs. Observr’s activity detection occurs early on within the scope of a ransomware attack.

Observr can be configured to take specific actions to remediate attacks, including <need a list of things it can do>.

Users of our Optix Dashboard, can configure Observr’s real-time alerts, reporting, remediation actions, notifications and drill-down into anomalous activity.

Early detection matched with automatic remediation means organizations can rest assured their backup infrastructure is protected.
