The data center is like a castle. You can pull up the drawbridge, fill up the moat or pull down the portcullis. But at some point you must let data in and out, and doing so creates the opportunity for ransomware attacks. No longer is it just a matter of pride and peer recognition among hackers to circumnavigate and expose the security of an organization; it’s now a full-fledged industry thanks to ransomware. Cybersecurity company Herjavec Group estimates it will top $1 billion in 2016. Those under siege once flooded the moats, pulled up the drawbridges and dropped the portcullis to protect themselves, but for the modern data centers, the lifeblood is the movement of data into and out of the data center.

So, how can you protect it from ransomware?
