Take measures to help protect your system against ransomware

The IBM Spectrum Protect™ Version 8.1.3 documentation includes guidelines to help protect your storage environment against ransomware attacks.

By following the guidelines for configuring your storage environment and managing data retention policies, you can reduce the risk of a ransomware attack and increase the possibility of recovering your storage environment if an attack occurs. You can use the IBM Spectrum Protect disaster recovery manager (DRM) function to prepare for and recover from ransomware attacks. You can use the Operations Center to closely monitor your storage environment and detect signs of unauthorized access. Review the guidelines and take appropriate measures to protect your data.
