Full Story
AFGRI had a software solution in place but it lacked the required functionality needed to effectively protect and run in its environment. They were at the point of either getting a solution that would work for them OR upgrading their entire network and user devices at a massive cost.
Its data protection requirement was fulfilled by opting for Cibecs Endpoint Cloud. End-user devices
no longer hung on a regular basis, the network was no longer under constant strain and users were able to work more efficiently and be more productive. Additionally, data recovery user downtime was decreased dramatically due to the fact that users could recover data themselves without having to go through a lengthy technical support process. This saved both the user’s time and required less involvement from IT technical support. Freeing up time for the IT staff to focus on other functions. Crucially, IT Management enjoyed a overview of the protection of their end-user data environment and achieved automated protection and visibility
“During Covid-19 lockdown our end users’ data was protected even though they were working remotely. End users are able to restore data without logging calls and calling on IT to restore lost endpoint data.”

Full Story
We had no endpoint backup strategy in place and had to deal with numerous cases where data was lost.
User downtime was a challenge, the company lost business continuity and we needed to mitigate the risk of data loss against staff productivity. Hardware can be replace easily but you cannot replace data easily. The loss of data has had a direct impact on productivity and comes with huge reputational and legal risk. IDC works with confidential client information that must not be accessible by unauthorized people.
We realized we needed a solution to mitigate our risk. After extensive market research in which Cibecs came out tops. Our endpoint data protection strategy now completely revolves around our Cibecs implementation.
Our biggest win is knowing, without a shadow of a doubt, that our end user data is 100% protected at all times. A proper partner was essential to making this work but it was the great relationships, technical support and solid endpoint solution that made it all come together.
Many of our users rely on being able to restore their own data. Others prefer working with our technical team and have peace of mind that their data is always available, secure and easily recoverable.
With new stringent data protection compliance requirements being imposed on us, we are confident that with Cibecs as our data protection and security provider we meet and exceed all the legal audit and compliance requirements.
We work on deals worth billions. The value of our information is priceless to us and the risk of damage through data loss and breaches is severe.
Gert Prinsloo from IDC has confidence in his data protection and security strategy with Cibecs and said: “Peace of mind that our endpoints are protected is our biggest win.”
“Cibecs was instrumental in our strategy to move to the cloud. We now have complete peace of mind as Cibecs is forward thinking and always ensures our data protection and that it meets the security is up to date with the latest technology and requirements in the industry. Cibecs ensures our endpoint data continuity, and therefore improves productivity”
Gert Prinsloo, IT Infrastructure Manager, IDC
Who is this for?
(and who it isn’t for)
This is for you if you’re
an IT manager or CIO who…
- suspects that your company's user data is at risk, even in the cloud, and you need to take security measures to protect it.
- believes that security and data protection shouldn’t be as expensive and difficult as it’s made out to be.
- is tired of being blamed for users’ losing data, wants to prevent your company data from being lost or ending up in the wrong hands.
- is concerned about increasing ransomware attacks.
This is NOT
for you if you…
- believe that file sharing and collaboration tools such as OneDrive, Office 365 or Dropbox are the same as user data protection and security.
- think that your company’s data is safe from unauthorized access and completely recoverable in the case of ransomware, theft and any other data loss event.
- trust that all employees always follow all policies, store all data where they should and never do anything, even unwittingly, that could potentially compromise your data security.
Here’s the Truth…
You can achieve protection of your user data using a combination of cloud services, security and backup products and specialists.
However, you will likely fail to get traction because it will require massive amounts of time, money and technical resources and users most likely won’t comply with data protection policies.
We are the best people, dedicated to solving this problem for companies that have 100 to 5,000 users.
Richard Dewing
Cibecs Co-founder & CEO
Richard, who has over 22 years’ experience within the data security industry, is a venture capitalist investor, technologist, and serves as a board member of Venture Technology Partners.
He also holds board seats in a number of SaaS and tech companies and is intimately aware of the challenges that endpoint data protection poses.
How we
solved this problem
Cibecs started out in 2004 as a hardware and software company serving the business market. Today it is one of the foremost IT data protection and security technology providers with partners, resellers, distributors and customers in 16 countries across the globe.
In the early 2000s, while working on a range of business hardware and software solutions, we realised that companies faced major challenges in trying to manage and secure their endpoint data.
Business personnel stored their data in many different locations and the data was either not being backed up or, if it was, it was a nightmare for IT to track and manage.
In addition, few companies had any security at endpoint level and security measures that were used, were poor and ineffective. When users’ personal computers and laptops were stolen, lost, crashed, became infected with viruses or were attacked by ransomware, IT managers faced a major headache trying to recover lost data.
We saw a gap in the market for a viable, cost effective and simple solution to this problem.
After months of testing different solutions, we realised that multiple systems were needed to cover all the gaps and that implementing all these systems would cost time and money.
We made it our mission to develop the solution required.
We put together a dedicated team who spent the better part of four years to create a simple, cost-effective solution that covered every aspect of endpoint data protection.
Our solution worked so well that we secured our first major global investor, Dr. Hasso Plattner, co-founder of software solutions provider, SAP. From there we quickly scaled up to become the user data protection solution of choice for major institutions in a range of industries from retail and finance to tech.
We have partnered with some of the biggest names in tech which includes industry heavyweights, Western Digital and Ingram Micro, which the largest tech distributor globally.
Other clients include major global banks and governments.
We are a Microsoft endorsed partner and are listed as one of the Microsoft Preferred Solutions.
Today, our services and clients span the globe and include South America, the USA, Europe, UK, Africa, Australia, Vietnam, India and Singapore.
As the shift towards a remote workforce began the need for seamless data management, backup and security has become even more important.
Now more than ever, Cibecs is focused on achieving zero data loss and maximum protection for IT Managers and CIOs as quickly and effectively as possible.
Our 8 Step Method
Here’s our proven 8 step method to protect your endpoints against data loss, unauthorized access & ransomware attacks.
STEP 1
Accurately map out your user device
and endpoint data environment
The above images show the complexity of
using a combination of Active Directory and HR lists.
The Old Way
- Estimate how many users you have from your Active Directory list, email accounts and or employee records.
- Take an educated guess about what applications users use and what types of data they have.
The Old Result
- You can’t protect what you don’t know you have.
- The outcome is an incomplete and inaccurate requirement assumption which leads to the wrong solution, a lack of protection and security and ultimately a failed project.
The New Way
- Uses automated inventory tools to ensure that you have an accurate and complete list of all your active users.
- Inventories the data on each device, identifies where data is stored, the quantity and types of data stored.
- Identifies the applications and the cloud services used by end-users – Dropbox, Google Drive, Office 365 etc.
The New Result
- An automated inventory and discovery system is an effective and reliable way to map out a company’s endpoint data environment. It takes a fraction of the time of the old way and provides IT with visibility and control of endpoint data through an intuitive dashboard.
- A clear understanding of your environment allows you to come up with an effective and comprehensive data protection plan.
- The ability to clearly identify risks safeguard against such risks and ultimately implement a successful solution.
The above image shows the simplicity of a live up-to-date inventory of computers and users.
Key Insight
Correctly mapping out your user devices and data is critical to ensuring an effective data protection strategy.
STEP 2
Define and deploy a detailed policy
of what data should be protected
The above is an example of the old way to create a company data protection policy.
The Old Way
- Manually creates a data protection policy in a word document or similar, and then distributes it to users via email.
- Provides users with instructions on where to store their data or how to work so that their data can be backed up and secured.
- This is true for shared folders as well as cloud services such as Dropbox, Office 365, Google Drive etc.
The Old Result
- Users are notorious for not following policy which is the main weak point in any data security practice. The old way requires checkpoints to be created to ensure the policy is being followed.
- User reliant policy implementation results in ineffective data protection and security, provides IT with little to no control over valuable company data, wastes limited IT resources on enforcing user compliance (which doesn’t work).
- The result is a lack of data protection, a complete lack of control over its data use and an inability to comply with data protection regulations as each user decides what they deem important.
The New Way
- Logically groups users who have similar data utilization behaviors together; select what data must be included or excluded in each group and build a comprehensive list of risks that need to be mitigated based on each.
- Create a detailed policy that maps the risks identified against the data that needs to be protected with the appropriate backup and security measures to cover all data locations and types.
- Use a tool that will automate the deployment, implementation and monitoring of the policy.
The New Result
- A comprehensive data protection policy that covers all the critical company data based on facts.
- The optimal utilization of a company’s bandwidth and storage which ensure that the right data is protected, and that company resources are not wasted.
The above image shows how simple it is to create a policy and rules for endpoints with Cibecs
Key Insight
Defining granular level data protection policies, being able to monitor deployment, implementation and thereafter monitoring ongoing compliance is crucial to ensure a workable, compliant strategy.
STEP 3
Use source-based deduplication and automate
user backups to a secure central store
The above image shows the typical environment with data being stored in multiple places and across many cloud servers.
The Old Way
-
Traditionally, the backup of user data has either…
- been left up to users
- a file sync location or
- to cloud sharing services - The assumption is that the correct data will be saved in the correct location by the users and then this data is backed up by IT or the service provider and is recoverable for all possible risk scenarios.
The Old Result
- Requires massive bandwidth and storage space.
- Assumes that users will save the correct data to the correct location.
- Fails to recognize that users easily miss files that are locked and don't transfer files correctly if they are not diligent.
- Does not mitigate against data loss when utilizing cloud services such as Dropbox or One-Drive which allows remote access and data sharing. All the risks associated with File Servers, such as ransomware attacks and user negligence still apply.
The New Way
- Makes use of a data deduplication when backing up data to ensure only one unique instance of all the data is stored across your endpoint data environment. This prevents duplicate copies from taking up storage space.
- Ensures complete automation of the backup tasks that cater for connectivity, compression, security and locked files.
- The ability to run backup automations of all data, no matter where it is stored, locally or synced with a cloud service, without impacting the user.
- Allows only authorized users should have access to backup data.
- Continuous archival of backed up data which is crucial for protection against ransomware, data corruption and user error.
The New Result
- Ensures that all important data is always recoverable and is protected against every data loss eventuality, no matter where and how users work or which services they use.
- Users will experience little to no impact during back ups and backed up data can be utilized for other purposes such as support incidents or audits if required.
- Deduped data optimally stores, backs up and prevents unnecessary duplicate copies that drives up storage costs.
The image above showsthe use of deduplication which implements convergent encryption for data at rest without compromising deduplication across user data.
Key Insight
Automating backup of all deduplicated data irrespective of where and how users store their data or which storage services they use, will ensure data is recoverable in every eventuality.
STEP 4
Implement file-based encryption
The above image is an example of the lengthy process required to safeguard one’s data the old way.
The Old Way
- Global compliance legislation requires all company data to be encrypted.
-
Traditionally the way to implement encryption is two-fold:
- Firstly, you need to select and set up an encryption tool as well as create and manage the encryption keys.
- Secondly, you would need to establish what data needed to be encrypted and decide how you wanted to encrypt this data i.e., using the file-based or full disk encryption method.
The Old Result
- The Implementation takes weeks or months and management of such a system is time consuming, costly and usually slows the users’ devices down which leads to user irritation and increased support from IT.
The New Way
- Uses an add-on encryption tool that can easily integrate with your existing backup software or better yet make use of the integrated encryption too;.
-
Once your endpoints have been inventoried and depending on whether you are using an add-on encryption tool or a backup and protection tool that provides this function. You will either:
- Deploy and activate the selected encryption software or
- Activate the encryption function on your integrated solution. - Whichever method you use, ensure that it provides automated encryption key management to prevent user error, and frees up tech support time.
- Integration into Active Directory is a key element to minimizing management requirements.
The New Result
- An extremely quick and efficient deployment of file-based encryption that ensures security of the data with minimal to no management requirement. Because key management is automated, the risk of not being able to recover encryption keys is no longer a concern.
Once your endpoints have been inventoried, the software deployed and activated, encrypting your data is as simple as toggling the encryption button on.
Key Insight
Utilize an integrated centrally-managed file-based encryption to significantly reduce the complexity, time and effort of implementation.
STEP 5
Remotely wipe PCs and laptops that are
decommissioned, replaced, lost or stolen
The above stats shows the vulnerability companies can experience as a result of lost or stolen devices which compromises important company data.
The Old Way
- In a device replacement or hardware refresh scenario, old devices need to be on location, individually formatted and the data manually deleted, to wipe all sensitive data from the old device.
- In the case of theft, the only thing companies who do not have an adequate solution can do is hope that their data doesn’t fall in the wrong hands.
The Old Result
- Firstly, is extremely time consuming and requires IT to initiate the delete or format to ensure that it was successfully completed.
- Secondly, forensic recovery tools are widely available online and can be used to retrieve deleted data ted from these devices which poses a massive risk to the organization.
- Thirdly, hoping data doesn’t fall into the wrong hands is not a sound strategy.
The New Way
- Automates the deletion of unwanted data, or data at risk of unauthorized access with forensic level deletion tools.
- Provides central management with the ability to visually monitor the status of end-user data through a dashboard.
The New Result
- A faster and more cost-effective way to perform hardware refresh projects, user support, device migration and to decommission devices without the risk of losing sensitive data.
- The ability to trigger data deletion in the case of theft remotely at the push of a button.
The above image shows how simple it is to create a policy and rules for endpoints with Cibecs
Key Insight
Centrally managed forensic data deletion capability will drive down IT support costs, increase service delivery and enhance data security.
STEP 6
Centrally control who has access to data
The above industry stats demonstrates the impact employees, their behaviour and devices have on company data.
The Old Way
- Requires users to store data in specified locations to safeguard data. If this data is synced to a cloud drive; it remains accessible on the device indefinitely and the only way to prevent access is to physically delete it.
- All a user has to do to retain access is to not connect the device to the network.
- There’s not previously been any way to physically track a device other than through utilizing a GPS tracker.
The Old Result
- Introduces the risk of data being accessible to disgruntled employees or through lost or stolen devices, where the person in possession of the missing device can take their time to get past the encryption.
- Tracks devices through GPS tracking units which is impractical and extremely expensive
The New Way
- The ability to block data through a timer or by initiating it centrally which makes it easy to block and restore access to endpoint data.
- In the case of a stolen or lost device the timer automatically blocks access regardless of whether the correct encryption key is used.
- Enables device location capabilities through tracking software.
The New Result
- Provides complete peace of mind that only authorized personnel have access to the data they need.
- Software-based quick and easy track and trace deployment and management which can be utilized in daily service operations such as callouts, hardware inventory and planning, recoveries and in theft or loss scenarios.
The is a snapshot of the easy-to-use Cibecs dashboard where you can easily geo-locate, remote wipe, revoke user access and check the safety of your endpoints.
Key Insight
The ability to block access to data enhances data security and limits the opportunity for malicious activity.
STEP 7
Map out & test all
data recovery & migration scenarios
The Old Way
- User data recovery plans and scenarios are rarely developed and even less frequently tested. Usually, it is a haphazard, last-minute scramble when a user’s data is lost.
- If anything, a business continuity process describes the user’s device but excludes specific data recovery scenarios and requirements such as lost device versus ransomware versus single file accidental deletion, etc.
The Old Result
- This results in uncertainty about both the data recovery and time objectives and increases risk of data loss.
- Additionally, unless specific access controls exist this might lead to unauthorized access to data.
- An unauthorized technician can quite easily recover the Financial Director or CEO’s data which may pose massive risk to the organization.
The New Way
- Maps out data recovery scenarios, data and recovery time objectives and access rights for each recovery scenario.
- Creates and automates as much as possible and establishes a recovery and migration processes for each possible scenario.
The New Result
- Data is easily recoverable no matter the scenario and user downtime will be minimized.
- Data recovery, when correctly used, becomes a support and hardware refresh / migration tool that can be utilized in everyday support scenarios. It significantly drives down support costs and increases IT service delivery because data is centrally managed.
- It’s important to note that data recovery and migration are different and require separate strategies.
An example of how you would map out different data recovery scenarios.
Key Insight
To improve IT service delivery implement efficient data recovery & migration capabilities and test each scenario to ensure data is recoverable in every data loss scenario.
STEP 8
Establish SLA compliance criteria,
monitor and manage by exception
The above is an example of the old way data & security logs were managed.
The Old Way
- Back up and security logs have been an irritation that IT has had to deal with for many years.
- Email reminders to users to backup and protect their data or hoping that data is being protected has been the main strategy.
- IT managers hoped and trusted that cloud data storage and collaboration service provider have their company data.
The Old Result
- Unreliable management information and an incomplete and inaccurate view of your data security.
- Data protection legislation requires you to prove that you are able to monitor and enforce your backup and data protection strategy, for compliance purposes.
- When utilizing the old way this is simply not possible and penalties for non-compliance are severe.
The New Way
- Uses a tool that provides the ability to create a single SLA rating that is easily relatable to the protection of the data and can be used as a management metric for the IT team.
- Ensures that reports are automated and sent to the relevant teams and individuals without manual intervention.
The New Result
- Requires minimal exception-based management because only users outside of the rating need to be addressed.
- Provides management with insights into the success of the data protection and security strategy.
- Complies with data protection legislation such as GDPR, POPIA, HIPPA, etc. as it relates to endpoint data and achieves compliance with minimal cost and effort.
The above image depicts the simple way the proper tool can communicate how secure your endpoint environment is.
Key Insight
Utilizing a single, SLA based, metric to manage data protection and security will significantly:
- reduce effort and enhance management visibility into the data protection strategy
- ultimately enhance the ROI and the ability to monitor the performance of a data compliance strategy.
There are a few ways to achieve this…
Option 1
Do it yourself, using a combination of cloud services, backup products, security products and security specialists which is likely to fail because it is:
Time
consuming
Of your effort & requires
constant management
Is extremely
costly
Finding, implementing and then managing the right combination of products, services and skills takes a lot of time and money.
Buying these products and security specialists are expensive and can easily run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. To attempt cost saving you’ll have to build inhouse skills which requires a big investment in both time and money.
Unfortunately, many products just don’t deliver on their promises.
Lastly, even if you do implement a multi-product solution you’ll have to spend massive amounts of time and money managing and supporting all these systems.
Option 2
You can use Cibecs and achieve complete user data protection and security within 24 hours, for a 1/10th of the effort and at a fraction of the cost of any other option.
Under
24 hours

This is for you if…
You are an IT manager or CIO with 100 to 5,000 users that wants their user data protected and recovered in the event of loss or theft and you do not have endless resources or an unlimited budget to manage multiple systems to ensure endpoint data is protected.

Full Story
Department policy dictated that governmental data should be stored in shared folders, however, data almost always ended up on the local devices.
Users would approach IT Services when devices were lost or stolen and wanted IT to recover data – and when not possible – questioned why the department would provide devices but not have measures in place to protect the information on them.
Lastly the Auditor General logged the key finding that they could see they department were protecting server information but that the end-user data was not covered.
Cibecs was evaluated and found to cover all of the requirements and deliver additional operational value. Users now have less downtime and IT technical support resources no longer had to spend their time trying to recover data which would have been lost or take extremely long to recover where recovery was possible.
Statistics SA implemented Cibecs just before the worldwide COVID pandemic hit in 2019. When lockdown procedures were implemented a key part of the IT Executive team’s role was to quickly assess their ability to protect and assist users while they were working from home. Detailed scenarios were mapped out including protocols in the event of stolen devices, information protection protocols; everyday scenarios at home from kids spilling milk on a notebook to the device being dropped, all events that the department had no control over. Cibecs was core to the strategy and no user data has been lost or valuable time wasted in trying to recreate data. In addition, user support requirements are down.
“Cibecs was instrumental in protecting the critical governmental data stored on our end-user devices while they worked remotely. Due to this capability the department invested in additional notebook devices and increased the number of Cibecs protection licenses because we are satisfied that our valuable data is protected”

They had an internal solution in place, but mainly Windows based, which was included in their Microsoft license, but the downside was that it was very user reliant, and the management of the system was near impossible.
“Protecting our data and ensuring the users were able to stay as productive as possible during the lockdown period was critically important to our organization. We didn’t want the users to worry about protecting business information and wanted a solution that would just run and have the ability to quickly and easily generate Exco type reports without wasting any time and with our move to a Cibecs’ cloud-based solution we had full peace of mind,” says Deon Henning, Accentuate’s Group IT Manager
Compliance is incredibly important to Deon, as they are listed on the Stock Exchange. As such they get Audited by Independent Auditors on a 6-monthly basis. The IT Department and most importantly, risk, forms a part of these Audits. Deon has to report back on any and all abnormalities or high-risk instances – these reports are incredibly laborious and time consuming to prepare. Cibecs assisted a lot in this respect: With Cibecs reporting it is quick and easy to prove that the risk has been mitigated.
“Due to being listed on the JSE we get audited by Independent Auditors on a 6-month basis. IT and risk form part of these audits and I have to report on any and all abnormalities or high-risk instances. In the past these reports used to be incredible laborious and time consuming to prepare, now however, making use of Cibecs the reporting alone has saved me an incredible amount of time”
Local Device Encryption is an Audit Requirement, which they cannot be without.
Cibecs has met all of Accentuates requirements. Deon now has full peace of mind that his company’s data is being protected and the risk of data leaving the organization is now a non-event.
He has achieved cost savings since the very start of signing with Cibecs and even avoided employing additional resources or third-party suppliers to assist IT.
Deon maintained a cool, calm and collected response to the Wannacry ransomware attack that took place and his feedback was that he did not worry about it, as he had Cibecs. A fact that his Exco was extremely satisfied and relieved about too.
“Due to the nature of our business things like ransomware attacks are taken extremely seriously and when the Wannacry attacks took place worldwide, we assessed the situation, tested our measures in place, and both from executive and IT management level were completely comfortable that our end-user environment was safe because of Cibecs.
If I didn’t have the Cibecs technology in my environment, I would have had to employ additional resources or third-party companies to assist with all my responsibilities”
Deon Henning, Group IT Manager, Accentuate

You can use this simple remote wipe feature to wipe all data on a forensic level and you can do it from anywhere.
This will prevent unauthorized access to data if a device is lost or stolen and cut project times and risk during hardware refresh projects without the time and cost required to do it remotely and without the risk of someone getting their hands on confidential data.
Safeguard your confidential data
with our easy-to-use remote wipe feature.

This will greatly enhance your security without requiring physical access to the device and you allow control from anywhere in the world.

Questions & Answers
Data Security, Backup,
Recovery & Storage
A: There are three main considerations:
- Cibecs’ backup policies, backup process, source based deduplication and management is easier to use, faster and more efficient than any other product on the market. The security is also patented and Cibecs Endpoint Cloud offers the most efficient and most secure endpoint backup available
- We’re far from just backup. As you saw Cibecs offers Backup, Data Loss Prevention, Encryption, Data Management, Corporate Governance Compliance and Migration. That means a single pane of glass to manage all your endpoint data management and security features.
- Very importantly backup on its own is an insurance, a necessary one but an insurance cost nonetheless. With Cibecs’ unique positioning the end goal is to reduce your technical support cost investment and increase speed and capability of service which combined gives significant returns in end user support and endpoint migration which means we’re the only endpoint protection and security solution that actually results in a return on investment rather than being another cost.
A: Once you cancel or don’t renew we will send you a confirmation email and your account and all related data will be deleted permanently from our servers on the final day of your license. Since we never hold any of the security keys we can never access any of the data anyway but since we have a real cost to store the data we do not hold any data beyond the last day of a licensed customers’ contract. Should you have elected to store your data locally you will obviously be in control of what happens to the data.
A: All system management information is stored in the management section in Azure in a compliant and secure manner. No personal data or company data or documents or files are stored here. You have the options of storing your user data on either a local vault within your control, in a vault created on storage provided by a third party of your choice or on Microsoft Azure under our management. In all instances we do not have any access to your data and it will only be recoverable with your security keys.
A: Absolutely. You can select to either store your data on your own hardware in your chosen location or at your service provider / ISP. Alternatively, you can utilize our cloud storage with Microsoft Azure and you’ll be able to select the Azure territory you prefer and all data will only be stored within that territory.
A: As above, you don’t need any storage but should you wish to use your own you’re welcome to. You can even change your mind at any stage and simply move your data to an online vault when you’re ready.
A: IT administrators can only manage and monitor Cibecs, they can’t access any of the data. This is another major benefit of Cibecs Endpoint Cloud. Only users and administrators with either the user’s encryption key or the master key, which is typically held by the CIO or CFO, can access any data.
A: We are a Microsoft Preferred Solution and had to go through rigorous technical evaluations and testing in order to gain that status. We have furthermore been evaluated to death by many major financial, legal and government departments and have passed all audits. We use….
A: Simply create an exclusion in your policy that looks for items such as *Personal or a specific location that you want to exclude and no data within that location will ever be touched by Cibecs other than to migrate it to your new device in an upgrade or hardware refresh.
A: Recovery is extremely easy to perform and you’ll be able to recover a single file, a complete folder, multiple folders, the entire data set and even the entire user profile with ease. It’s a couple of easy steps in our recovery wizard and you’ll be able to select the version and data you require and our system takes care of the rest in the background. You also can’t damage any archived data so there is no risk in letting your users perform their own recoveries should you wish. Of course there is an extensive help section in the product and we’re also always available to help if you need our assistance.
Ransomware
A: Recovering from Ransomware is as easy as...
- Wiping the device to ensure it’s free from the Ransomware,
- Updating your Antivirus and make sure your machine is clean,
- Running a recovery and roll back to just before you were hit.
- No paying anyone any ransom!
