Ransomware Protection YOUR LAST LINE OF DEFENSE
To learn more about Blocky for Veeam®
Ransomware attacks are no longer a matter of “if” but “when.” Typically, backup files are the first targets, often corrupted or deleted. Once a device is infected, the ransomware can spread across your network, halting business operations. Without secure, available backups, your business faces the risk of costly downtime and ransom demands.
Blocky is your defense against this threat. It creates an immutable, zero-trust backup shield that prevents unauthorized access, ensuring your backup data is protected. Even if your system is compromised, Blocky guarantees that your backups remain secure and accessible, serving as your Last Line of Defense.
How Does Blocky Protect My Data?
Blocky creates a WORM (Write Once, Read Many) shield, for example, on your Windows Veeam backup repository, ensuring that only whitelisted applications—such as Veeam backup software—can modify or delete data. These applications must authenticate using a unique “fingerprint.”
All other applications attempting to access or alter the data are blocked by our proven WORM shield, keeping your backup safe and secure.

FAQ
What is Ransomware?
Ransomware is malicious software that can encrypt or delete your data, making traditional backup recovery impossible and bringing your business operations to a halt. The attackers typically demand a ransom to release your data.
Simultaneously, the growing complexity of ransomware and the rise of new variants make it increasingly difficult to defend against. Every month, new ransomware families emerge, bringing with them new tactics to bypass security systems.
What Are the Consequences of a Ransomware Attack?
When ransomware infects a system, the damage can be severe. Once inside, the malware can spread across your network, disrupting operations and halting business productivity. Without access to critical data, recovery costs soar, and cleanup efforts become expensive and time-consuming. Additionally, extended downtime can severely damage your company’s reputation. In the worst-case scenario, even paying the ransom may not guarantee data recovery.
How Does Ransomware Get Into My Business?
Ransomware can enter your system in several ways. The most common method is through phishing emails that prompt you to click on a link or open an infected attachment. However, compromised websites and malicious ads are also increasing threats. A single wrong click can activate tools that silently search for vulnerabilities in your computer. Once a weakness—such as outdated software—is found, ransomware is downloaded and installed, often without your knowledge.
