Cybercriminals are becoming increasingly sophisticated with their attacks. They know that the only thing standing between them and your willingness to pay is your ability to recover data in the event of a successful ransomware attack.
That's why they now target your backups. If you use a solution that relies on Immutability or Air-gapping alone to protect your backups, you're still vulnerable to attacks.
Asigra is an award-winning, agentless enterprise backup and recovery platform that proactively hunts ransomware. With our proprietary technology, Asigra provides organizations around the world the ability to securely backup and restore their data through a network of partners who deliver cloud backup and recovery services as public, private and/or hybrid deployments.
Trusted since 1986 and headquartered in Toronto, the company has since evolved to pioneering more innovations within the data protection space such as our proprietary bidirectional malware scanning (using advanced machine learning algorithms as well as heuristics-based and signature-based antimalware detection techniques), Deep MFA, FIPS 140-2 encryption, SaaS Protection and Validation Restore to verify the integrity of backups. Ultimately, Asigra provides organizations with an easy-to-use platform for backup and recovery of servers, virtual machines, endpoint devices, databases, and SaaS/IaaS-based applications.
Asigra lowers the total cost of ownership, reduces recovery time objectives, eliminates silos of backup data by providing a single consolidated repository, and runs natively on TrueNAS. Asigra has been recognized as a Gartner Cool Vendor and included in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Backup and Recovery Software since 2010.
Pioneering Backup and Security for Three Decades
Asigra was founded more than 35 years ago by David Farajun, a visionary computer programmer who couldn't find an adequate solution to back up the code he was developing. That frustration inspired him not only to build a product that met his needs, but to create a company that would evolve alongside changes in cybersecurity. Ultimately, this led to the industry's first agentless enterprise cloud-based backup and recovery software that also addresses today's cyber threats.
Today, David continues to guide our direction, along with a leadership team packed with industry heavy-hitters. Our software has developed to include features like bi-directional malware scanning, CDR, MFA, SaaS Protection and Validation Restore to verify the integrity of backups, and we're frequently first to market with new advances — a product of our perennial commitment to our original vision of technology that constantly iterates to get ahead of new threats.
Asigra takes an entirely different approach to protecting your backup data — a multilayered, proactive approach featuring industry-leading ransomware scanning and other advanced security safeguards. Asigra is designed to hunt and terminate attacks that target your backup data,” said Eric Simmons.
“Your backups are your last line of defense against ransomware. Asigra Tigris' unique backup security architecture ensures you can recover your data and return to productivity fast.”
