Before locking up your production environment, cyber-criminals go after your backups to cripple your ability to recover, increasing the odds of a ransom payout.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK\u2019s National Security Cyber Centre adds: \u201cBackups are an essential part of an organisation\u2019s response and recovery process. Making regular backups is the most effective way to recover from a destructive ransomware attack, where an attacker\u2019s aim is to destroy or erase a victim\u2019s data.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Early-stage attacks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Centre says that attacks on backups and network infrastructure quite often occur during the early stages of a destructive ransomware attack. To make it impossible to recover from an attack, cyber-criminals delete or destroy data to increase the threat and the likelihood of a ransom being paid out to them. Stored data that\u2019s connected to a network \u2013 including the public internet or to the cloud \u2013 is therefore potentially under significant threat from ransomware actors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent this from happening, measures have to be put in place to make it impossible for them to attack the data in the first place. The primary method of protecting data \u2013 whether it is stored on tape or disk \u2013 is to create one or more airgaps. They disconnect the data from any public network, reducing the likelihood of any threat actor being able to access, steal, hold captive or delete the data. However, data can be stored on an internal, secured local area network as part of an air-gapping strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, there will be occasions when the data must be recovered or migrated to different sites that might be located thousands of miles away. This might be to support disaster recovery, or to simply have duplicate copies of the data on other servers in other datacentres or disaster recovery sites around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Man with a van<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the data is stored on tape or disk, transportation could be done using a man with a van approach, but that would take time and the vehicle could end up being stolen. The most obvious way to transport data would be to use a Wide Area Network (WAN) \u2013 including the internet &#8211; or to host it in the cloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When data is hosted in the cloud, it can be accessed from multiple points if the right permissions are given to access it. However, for the most sensitive data, this approach can be highly risky. As soon as the data is connected to a public network, it becomes a potential target and vulnerable to attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Network latency and packet loss could also make the task of transmitting 100 Gb\/s of data difficult to achieve, too. They can make a network sluggish and reduce bandwidth utilisation. SD-WANs and WAN Optimisation are great technologies, but they won\u2019t necessarily improve network and data performance, because latency can only be mitigated and not resolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mitigating latency<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how can you mitigate latency? Well, increasing the bandwidth of your pipes won\u2019t make much difference. WAN Optimisation can\u2019t handle encrypted data, and in terms of its performance, it doesn\u2019t live up to what its vendors claim. SD-WANs also benefit from a WAN Acceleration overlay in the pursuit of high network performance, and faster data transfer speeds. They, too, are a great technology, but they often need a boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What organisations need today is the ability to use artificial intelligence, machine learning and data parallelisation to mitigate them \u2013 in other words &#8211; WAN Acceleration. It permits encrypted data to be sent and received at a rate that\u2019s up to 200 times faster than standard WAN connections \u2013 including WAN Optimisation. That not only saves time and money but also makes it easier to prevent data from backups that is being transferred from one location to another harder for cyber-criminals to divert and to unlock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes encrypted data that is stored offline on tape and disk, which may be required elsewhere \u2013 temporarily meaning that when an airgap has to be bridged to expedite the data elsewhere, it has to be done securely and then, when the data is at rest, an airgap can be reinstated by ensuring that data is disconnected from any public network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Airgaps can be attacked<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sead Fadilpa\u0161i\u0107, writing for TechRadar, nevertheless warns that even airgaps can be attacked. In his October 2024 article, \u2018European government systems hit by air-gap malware attack, he points out: \u201cHackers have managed to steal sensitive information from air-gapped systems belonging to different European governments on at least three separate occasions, experts have warned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if the data is air-gapped, how can cyber-criminals still get access to it to deliver malware? Well, a threat actor such as GoldenJackal, which targets governments in Europe and Asia, uses infected USB drives to deliver and launch malware, such as GoldenDealer and GoldenAce. The malware is launched as soon as the USB drive is plugged into the server that stores the air-gapped data. It then self-replicated and mixes with other malware to cause havoc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some malware that is used in this kind of attack copies documents, images, encryption keys and OpenVPN configuration files, as well as other sensitive data. When the USB drive is reconnected to an internet-enabled device, it sends the data to a C2 server. Therefore, WAN Acceleration is only one part of the strategy in ensuring that air-gapped data is safe. Other measures \u2013 including employee screening \u2013 and policies about USB drive use also need to be put in place to keep data secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Comprehensive strategies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To summarise, cyber-security strategies should be comprehensive to prevent any kind of cyber-security attack from exploiting any kind of vulnerability. It\u2019s therefore vital to consider all<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>possibilities. While airgaps come some way to protect data, that data also needs to be securely replicated and stored elsewhere so that it can be available \u2013 even if disruption is caused by malware being launched from a USB drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, air-gapped data needs WAN Acceleration whenever data needs to be sent to and recovered from disaster recovery sites at speed without being impinged by latency, packet loss or poor bandwidth utilisation. This is particularly crucial in banking and finance, defence, healthcare and in other key sectors where data is of the utmost importance and sensitivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>By David Trossell, CEO and CTO of Bridgeworks<\/p>\n<p>The most critical means of maintaining service continuity is to protect an organisation\u2019s backups first before anything else.
