Protect Fintech Data With 5 Functions of Veeam Backup

Protect Fintech With 5 Functions of Veeam Backup

As a pandemic COVID-19 spread to almost all over the world, the demand for digital channels for payment, credit, business, and general cybersecurity, has accelerated. This can’t be said with no reason, of course, but technology has played a key role to grant loans and monitor the financial health of many individuals and SMEs. Therefore, it is not a surprise anymore to see if financial technology (fintech) and credit analytics will be crucial drivers of change in the future.

However, as a massive digital transaction has been made by users, it places Fintech as a vulnerable industry to be attacked by all kinds of cyber threats, including ransomware. It can be said as Fintech has personal or commercial financial and superannuation information. So, if the organization doesn’t have any proper protection or security system, ransomware may infect fintech IT systems as long as there’s a vulnerable gap in its IT system.

Implementing Veeam Backup can be the solution to protect Fintech data. Veeam prides itself on being in the front lines, fighting the good fight against ransomware, and protecting important data kept by the fintech. It offers transparent and actionable strategies on how to educating employees, rotating backup copies across several locations, and leveraging cloud options for making backups practically immutable.

Besides that, Veeam also has five functions that can protect fintech from a ransomware attack. Read those below here:

Air-gapped or “immutable” backups offer a powerful technique for being resilient against ransomware and other threats. Enabling a replica of its backup, stored out of reach from cyber attacks, utilizing controls that ensure deletions or changes cannot happen without strict multi-level approvals.

Veeam’s Scale-out Backup Repository (SOBR), partnered with Capacity Tier (also known as Cloud Tier), enables an easy-to-use capability that writes backup data into object storage on any platform that supports it. So, it will protect fintech data.

Detecting ransomware

Detecting ransomware attacks in their initial stages can be difficult. That’s why Veeam provides the ability to closely monitor and protect fintech IT environment and be aware of any suspicious or abnormal activity.

By analyzing CPU usage, datastore write rate and network transmit rate, Veeam can protect fintech by identifying if there are higher than normal amounts of activity on a particular machine. Not only that but when the alarm is triggered, this immediately notifies fintech to inspect the machine, look at the resource counters and determine for the organization whether the activity is normal. If it’s not, this is a good indicator that more steps should be taken to determine if ransomware is the actual cause.

Ensuring ransomware-free backups

Viruses can be undetected and dormant in IT current systems and ready to pounce. If this occurred to the organization, fintech can use the power of Veeam backup and root out ransomware threats before they attack. Not only that, but fintech also can keep ransomware out for good with an automated step to scan the backup for malware.

Restoring guaranteed virus-free workloads

Viruses can be undetected and lay dormant in older backups. Therefore, fintech has to make sure it can protect itself. Secure Restore enables a complete anti-virus scan of its backups when restoring. Having access to the latest virus definitions helps safeguard against previously unknown viruses. That’s why it will protect fintech by providing greater confidence that dormant threats won’t be reintroduced back into the environment.

Testing workloads securely

Unsure of a current workload? Suspect that it may be infected? No worries! Fintech can restore the data into a fully secured and isolated environment to test. By tapping into the power of Veeam to restore data, workloads and applications may into a fully isolated virtual sandbox environment. Test for cyber threats and other issues while performing potential remediation activities – without impacting any production system. So, it will protect fintech data against ransomware.

Why Business Needs Modern Data Protection?

Why Business Needs Modern Data Protection?

The sudden transformation to remote work of the customer experience in 2020 created a growing volume and type of data for organizations. By this case, many business then turned to the cloud to scale up data capacity and agility. Although the cloud had helped enterprises to manage their data flexibly, backup solutions were often not upgraded in parallel by business.

Despite its critical importance, data backup has been one area where business often underestimates it. This tactic can backfire, leaving organizations vulnerable to failures, cybersecurity breaches, also rising data storage and maintenance cost. Therefore, today’s modern data protection like backup strategy is needed to prevent business from the risk of data loss.

Then, what can modern data protection deliver to business?

1. Modern data protection Provide Better Security

Data storage costs are spiraling upwards as well, whether on-premises or related to unplanned cloud capacity growth. While the amount of data generated in 2020 was exceptional, the expansion of data generation has been ongoing for years and is not likely to abate. Systems may not have been built to withstand rapid increases in data or to handle information on the cloud, in muti- or hybrid-cloud, and across different platforms and even formats. Therefore, modern data protection needs to be built by enterprise.

Within the realm of data protection, advanced solutions provide better security, value, and the ability to grow and evolve with an organization. In more sophisticated scenarios, modern backup solutions can even help organizations reach into and leverage stored data to augment the growing tools that require vast amounts of information.

2. Modern data protection takes resiliency to the next level

While all data needs to be secure, some needs to be more secure: market performance trends used by an investment firm, for example, may not have the same security demands as a client’s account information. Data is also accessed at different times and frequencies. Therefore, modern data protection like Backup or Disaster Recovery is needed to help ensure that the right protection and access are optimally executed from the start.

Modern data protection can also learn how security needs evolve over time, based on changes in, such as usage, policies, or regulation. Imagine the benefits that such a system would have brought to an organization implementing GDPR compliance or ensuring secure, effective data integration as part of an acquisition.

Not only that but modern data protection can also track, identify, record, and analyze issues to suggest event resolution strategies. When combined with real-time monitoring, it can accelerate response time and reduces outages and related downtime. 

3. Automate IT environment for update and patch testing

Business should think beyond their data stores as simply a place to run to if and when disaster strikes. Rather than a cellar that contains copies of missing or corrupt information, comprehensive backup stores can be the ingredients of an entirely separate “test kitchen” for DevOps and DevTest teams.

Data backup can automate the environment requirement for update and patch testing and troubleshooting. It can deliver a protected production space where new apps can be run in a sandbox-type scenario. Not only that, but this modern data protection can also be a near-real-time resource for advanced analytics, reducing the need for multiple-data replication across the company.

cyber crimeCegah Risiko Cyber Crime Dengan Veeam Backup

Pandemi COVID-19 yang telah berlangsung hampir sepanjang tahun telah memunculkan peningkatan Cyber Crime. Badan Siber dan Sandi Negara (BSSN) menyebutkan setidaknya terdapat 189.937.542 juta upaya Cyber Crime di Indonesia sejak Januari hingga Agustus 2020 lalu. Jika dibandingkan dengan tahun lalu, angka ini mengalami kenaikan lebih dari empat kali lipat.

Tak hanya itu saja, bahkan baru-baru ini kantor Pemerintah Delaware County di Pennysylvania, Amerika Serikat telah terserang kasus ransomware berjenis DoppelPaymer. Dikutip dari cyberthreat.id, pemerintah setempat pun harus membayar tebusan dengan Bitcoin senilai 500.000 US Dollar atau setara dengan Rp. 7.06.000.000.000 untuk dapat menerima decryptor.

Melihat hal ini, tentu ancaman serangan cyber seperti malware hingga ransomware pun patut jadi perhatian bagi bisnis. Bagaimana tidak? Ancaman ini bahkan mampu membawa risiko yang serius bagi pengusaha.

Bagaimana Cara Kerja Ransomware?

Memahami Cara Kerja Ransomware Yang Dapat Menyerang Sistem IT Perusahaan 

 

Tidak diragukan lagi, bahwa internet memiliki fungsi krusial bagi perusahaan. Mulai dari mengakses informasi hingga mengirim data-data penting, internet bisa digunakan secara fleksibel ketika dibutuhkan. Meskipun demikian, sambungan internet juga membawa berbagai macam virus yang dapat menyerang berbagai device. Salah satu virus yang cukup dikenal baru-baru ini adalah malware berjenis ransomware.

Serangan malware berupa ransomware masih menjadi kasus terpopuler untuk berbagai perusahaan hingga saat ini. Beberapa waktu lalu, ransomware telah menimpa operasional perusahaan kamera Canon di Amerika Serikat. Sejumlah aplikasi operasional seperti email, website, Microsoft Teams, dan layanan dukungan pesan konsumen perusahaan tersebut dikabarkan mengalami gangguan teknis. Sehingga, bantuan dari perusahaan cyber pun dibutuhkan Canon, demi menghindari kebocoran data ke publik.

Apa yang terjadi kepada perusahaan Canon, tentu menjadi perhatian bagaimana serangan tersebut bisa berbahaya bagi sistem IT perusahaan. Jika perusahaan tidak memiliki sistem IT keamanan yang maksimal, maka bersiaplah untuk terkena serangan ransomware. Namun, tahukah Anda apa itu ransomware? Bagaimana cara ransomware bekerja? Baca penjelasan berikut untuk mengetahuinya!

 

Pengertian Malware dan Ransomware 

Malware adalah singkatan dari Malicious software. Perangkat lunak ini dirancang untuk menyebabkan kerusakan pada suatu komputer, server, atau jaringan komputer dengan menggunakan virus. Efek yang diberikan pun bisa lebih berbahaya bagi perusahaan ketimbang untuk personal user. Jika jaringan perusahaan terserang malware, maka bersiaplah terkena gangguan sistem pada komputer. 

Ransomware adalah salah satu jenis malware yang populer saat ini. Serangan ini dirancang untuk memblokir akses pengguna ke sistem komputer yang digunakan. Selain itu, pelaku biasanya mengancam untuk mempublikasikan maupun menghapus data apabila pengguna tidak membayar uang tebusan (ransom). 

Namun, membayar tebusan kepada pelaku juga tidak menjamin data dan sistem yang diblokir bisa dikembalikan dengan aman oleh pelaku. Setelah mengenkripsi file, biasanya ransomware akan membawa jenis malware lain yang dapat menginfeksi sistem jaringan komputer. Sehingga kerusakan pada sistem jaringan dapat terjadi walaupun uang tebusan telah dibayarkan.

 

Lalu bagaimana Cara Kerja Ransomware?

Pada umumnya, cara kerja ransomware adalah dengan menggunakan trojan yang disamarkan menjadi file atau aplikasi yang dikirimkan oleh penyerang. Jika Anda membuka maupun mengunduh file atau aplikasi tersebut, maka berhati-hatilah sebab perangkat lunak ini akan menemukan dan mengenkripsi semua file pada perangkat komputer Anda. Berikut beberapa media yang paling sering digunakan untuk menyebarkan ransomware:

  • Exploit

Banyak hacker biasanya menggunakan exploit ini untuk mencari kelemahan sistem. Pada dasarnya, alat ini disisipkan pada sebuah situs web yang berisi iklan. Jika salah satu iklan tersebut diklik, maka pengguna akan diarahkan ke halaman yang berisi perintah untuk mengunduh exploit. Sehingga, ini menjadi celah bagi para hacker untuk menginfeksi sistem dan file dengan serangan ransomware.

  • Malicious Email Attachment

Hal kedua yang harus diwaspadai ialah mendownload lampiran email secara sembarang. Hacker biasanya menggunakan email yang terkesan kredibel seperti newsletter tawaran pekerjaan, lembaga sosial, hingga teknisi IT. Selain itu, format file yang dilampirkan pun dapat bervariasi,  seperti .exe, .doc, .js, .msi, .ppt, dan lainnya. Sehingga, tidak terlihat mencurigakan. Namun tanpa disadari, file-file tersebut mengandung ransomware dan mampu menyerang sistem komputer apabila diunduh.

  • Link (tautan) dalam email

Tak hanya lampiran, hacker juga pada umumnya menggunakan tautan dalam email yang dapat menginfeksi sistem komputer. Dengan menggunakan email yang tampak terpercaya, hacker biasanya berhasil menarik perhatian pengguna untuk mengklik tautan tersebut. Sehingga, pengguna selanjutnya diarahkan untuk mendownload file pada situs website yang berisikan serangan ransomware.

Demi menghindari serangan ransomware, Zettagrid Indonesia menghadirkan layanan cloud backup sebagai solusi IT perusahaan. Anda bisa melakukan backup kapanpun saat dibutuhkan. Selain itu, cloud backup memudahkan perusahaan Anda dalam memperpanjang infrastruktur Veeam Backup  ke dalam cloud.
