Nakivo adds ransomware scanning and new restore options | Computer Weekly
Summary
This works in concert with threat databases from a number of security specialists, including Windows Defender, Kaspersky, Sophos and Clam. Malware detection is built on top of existing abilities to make backup copies immutable so that attackers cannot compromise them. Bare metal restore is a new feature in this version, which vice-president for product marketing Segei Serdyuk said was a result of customer demand, adding: “There’s big demand for it in the industry because a lot of customers still run bare metal.” In a similar vein, Nakivo also added direct restore from tape in this upgrade. The new functionality can restore VMware, Hyper-V and Nutanix VMs, as well as Amazon EC2 instances and physical machines, directly from tape. “But it’s still going strong and people like it because it introduces a physical air gap which is useful as protection from ransomware and is also cheap for long-term storage.” Nakivo has also added a direct management console for managed service providers (MSPs), which Serdyuk said was a result of increasing numbers of resellers wanting to offer their customers services that include backup.
