Bocada LLC, an award-winning IT monitoring and automation company, has announced new cyber resilience reports to enable customer visibility into backup-level immutability and encryption.
With 96% of ransomware attacks now targeting backup repositories, it has become essential for organizations to protect their backups with security features such as immutability and encryption.
When at least one backup copy is kept in immutable storage as prescribed by modern updates to the 3-2-1 backup rule, it becomes significantly harder for ransomware attackers to compromise an organization’s ability to recover quickly using its own backups. Similarly, backup-level encryption can safeguard data privacy even if backup repositories are compromised, reducing the risk that sensitive information will be exposed.

While many modern data protection providers such as Veeam, Cohesity, and Commvault already support and promote the use of immutability and encryption, visibility into whether these security features are being utilized has been a gap for many organizations — until now.
Bocada customers can now run a single report to identify backup jobs across multiple backup products that have immutability and/or encryption enabled, as well as those missing these attributes, thereby improving their cyber resilience against threats such as ransomware.
“These new reports are just one of the many steps Bocada is taking to ensure our customers meet the highest compliance standards and are protected against the modern threat of ransomware,” said Matt Hall, CEO of Bocada. “At Bocada, we are developing a future-proof monitoring platform that empowers not only backup and storage teams but also their cybersecurity counterparts to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated cyberthreats.”
Immutable backup and encrypted data reports are available immediately to Bocada Enterprise customers using version 24.3.09 or later.
