Data security is a strategic issue for businesses. With the proliferation of cyberattacks, ransomware, doxware, and man-in-the-middle attacks, IT professionals need reliable tools to protect their environments.
That is why KiwiBackup has developed a unique feature: the cryptovirus alert built into the software. It makes it possible to quickly detect files that may be infected and to prevent any encryption of your critical data before it is too late.
How does the cryptovirus alert work in KiwiBackup?
Unlike conventional detection that scans file contents, our software uses a non-intrusive method based on file extensions when files are sent to the cloud.
- If a file matches an extension identified in our up-to-date list of cryptoviruses, the software immediately generates an alert.
- This alert flags a potential infection, allowing the IT administrator to react quickly before the workstation is fully encrypted.
Why is this feature essential for CIOs and IT resellers?
Many clients only realize they have been infected by a cryptovirus several days after their files have been fully encrypted. With the KiwiBackup cryptovirus alert:
- Detection is immediate, from the very first attempt to back up a suspicious file.
- IT teams can isolate the compromised workstation before the infection spreads.
- Service continuity is protected thanks to fast restoration from clean files.
