Watch 'Surviving Ransomware by Leveraging Cloud Services'
Ransomware is a formidable threat to governments, educational institutions, nonprofits and businesses worldwide. It not only costs billions of dollars for response and recovery but also adversely affects organizations’ ability to operate.

Limited budgets and a small work force, however, can make it difficult to identify, evaluate, purchase, implement and maintain the collection of security tools and services to protect an environment. When budgets tighten, the challenges only intensify.
To help solve many of these challenges, organizations are increasingly turning to public cloud providers for solutions. Learn three strategic steps organizations can take to survive ransomware by leveraging public cloud services.
