For a long time, data backup and anti-virus protection have been treated separately and businesses have had to address them as such, choosing one solution for anti-virus and ransomware protection, and another solution for backing up data.
But as cyber crime advances, becoming more and more sophisticated by the year, providers have had to make their products increasingly dynamic and more robust to counter new cyber threats. As a result, the nature of data backup solutions and of anti-malware solutions have both changed.
Business development and strategy director of IronTree, Steven Cohen, says: “Data backup on its own is no longer giving full protection for your data, and anti-virus on its own can’t prevent all forms of cyber attack.”
Due to the need for a comprehensive data protection product, IronTree will now combine data backup, anti-virus and patch management software into one product.
IronTree has therefore launched IronTree Protect, a holistic solution that has the power to counter modern cyber threats by:
- Protecting your data from all known forms of malware, including ransomware;
- Keeping a copy of your selected data in a remote environment, safe from disruption and disaster; and
- Automatically patching your applications, making sure your system has the latest updated software – a critical element in being protected.
Because this product combines data backup, malware protection and patch management in one, you can control both the preventative and recovery aspects of your environment at once.
IronTree Protect operates from a single intuitive dashboard that allows you to see:
- All your devices on a single Web console;
- Which devices are at risk; and
- Which devices have been backed up and when.
It also allows you to deploy patches to applications running on all devices.
Cohen remembers the time when “we used to update our software just to have the latest features”. Those days are gone. We now need to constantly update our software to remain safe from new forms of cyber attack.
As Cohen says: “In an increasingly complex, noisy world, being able to check your devices and their statuses at a glance gives you a continuous sense of control that puts your mind at ease while you get on with running your business.”
