 Did you know that cybercriminals are increasingly targeting virtual infrastructure? Ransomware attacks on VMware ESXi tripled in 2022. Last winter, thousands of machines were targeted globally. More recently, major hospitality firms have hundreds of their hypervisors encrypted. Roughly 60% of attacks reported to Rubik's ransomware response team in the past several months involved VM compromise. Any systems relying on virtual infrastructure can be taken down in hours. So what can you do? Because hypervisors are specialized solutions, you can't rely on off-the-shelf security tools. Rubik is pleased to introduce VM encryption detection, allowing you to receive anomaly alerts for VM encryption, quickly assess the blast radius, and recover. This will improve the resilience of your virtual environment without increasing cost as the analysis is performed by your backup solution. So what do you think? Let us know in the comments below what you're doing to secure your VMs.
