Ransomware has become one of the most serious cybersecurity threats facing government agencies and enterprise organizations. Modern ransomware campaigns are no longer limited to encrypting files on user endpoints. Attackers now specifically target backup systems, storage infrastructure, and data repositories, attempting to destroy or corrupt the very systems organizations rely on for recovery.

Organizations today face rapidly growing data volumes, evolving cybersecurity threats, and increasingly complex IT environments. Many workloads still run in on-premises data centers, while others have moved to public cloud platforms or operate across distributed locations. As a result, many IT leaders are adopting hybrid storage architectures that combine on-premises infrastructure with cloud-based storage services.
