Ransomware Protection & Recovery Built for the Inevitable
Immutable, air-gapped backups that ransomware cannot encrypt — so you always have a clean recovery point and restore operations in minutes, not days.
Why Ransomware Protection Matters
Ransomware is Inevitable
Over 70% of enterprises were hit by ransomware last year. The question is no longer if, but when — and whether you can recover without paying.
Backups Are the #1 Target
Modern ransomware deliberately seeks out and encrypts your backups first. If your backups can be modified or deleted, they are not a recovery option.
Recovery is Survival
Organizations that cannot recover from immutable backups face ransom payments, downtime, data loss, and regulatory penalties.
The Challenges of Ransomware Defense
Traditional backup strategies fail against modern ransomware:
- Ransomware deletes or encrypts online backups before detonating
- Connected storage and network shares are compromised alongside production
- Immutable snapshots are rare — most backups can be modified by any admin
- Recovery from logical dumps takes hours or days, extending downtime
- No air gap means attackers with credentials reach every copy
The Spictera Answer
Spictera Unified Storage (SPFS + SPIR) writes backups to SPIR immutable WORM (write-once-read-many) storage. Once written, no one — not even an administrator with full credentials — can alter or delete your backups. Air-gapped copies stay physically unreachable by network-based attacks. When ransomware strikes, you restore from a clean, verified snapshot in minutes.

A defense-in-depth workflow that guarantees recoverability.
Application-Consistent Snapshots
SPFS captures clean, consistent snapshots of running systems without downtime.
Immutable WORM Storage
Snapshots land on SPIR write-once storage that cannot be modified or deleted.
Air-Gapped Copies
Offline or logically isolated copies keep backups beyond ransomware reach.
Rapid Recovery
Restore entire systems or individual files from clean snapshots in minutes.
Key Features
Enterprise-grade capabilities purpose-built for your environment.
Immutable WORM Storage
SPIR write-once storage guarantees backups cannot be encrypted, altered, or deleted — even by ransomware with admin credentials.
Air-Gapped Backups
Physically or logically isolated copies that ransomware cannot reach over the network.
Instant Recovery
Snapshot-based recovery restores full systems in minutes, not the hours required by logical dumps.
Point-in-Time Recovery
Roll back to any second before an incident — drop a ransomware infection without losing valid work.
Anomaly Detection
Monitor backup patterns for signs of ransomware mass-deletion or encryption attempts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ransomware protection?
Ransomware protection is the combination of strategies and technologies that prevent ransomware from encrypting your data and — critically — ensure you can recover without paying a ransom. The foundation is immutable, air-gapped backups that attackers cannot reach or modify.
Can ransomware encrypt Spictera backups?
No. Spictera writes backups to SPIR immutable WORM (write-once-read-many) storage. Once written, the data cannot be modified, encrypted, or deleted by anyone — not even an administrator with full credentials. Ransomware that reaches your environment cannot touch your recovery copies.
How fast can I recover from a ransomware attack with Spictera?
Because Spictera uses snapshot-based recovery rather than slow logical restores, full systems can typically be recovered in minutes. You roll back to the last clean snapshot before the attack, minimizing downtime and data loss.
What is an air-gapped backup and why does it matter?
An air-gapped backup is a copy that is physically or logically isolated from the production network. Ransomware spreads over the network, so if a backup is connected, it is reachable. Air-gapped copies guarantee at least one clean recovery point survives any attack.
Does Spictera ransomware protection help with compliance?
Yes. Immutable, auditable backups with retention controls directly support GDPR, HIPAA, and financial regulations that require demonstrable, recoverable data protection. SPIR storage provides tamper-evident audit trails for every operation.
Which databases and systems does Spictera protect from ransomware?
Spictera protects MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, file systems, virtual machines, and enterprise applications — all from a single unified platform with the same immutable, air-gapped ransomware protection.
