Ransom secure backup solution
Ransomware
“Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts the victim’s personal data until a ransom is paid. Hard-to-trace digital currencies such as Paysafecard or Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are often used for the ransom payments, making it difficult to track and prosecute the perpetrators. Sometimes the original files can be recovered without paying the ransom due to implementation errors, leaked cryptographic keys or the complete lack of encryption in the ransomware.”Source:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ransomware
Hackers often work unnoticed for several weeks or months before they are detected, so that backups are encrypted over a long period of time and thus become worthless.
Ransom safe data backups
With the usual measures to prevent unauthorized access to your data or company infrastructure - there is still one last critical gap left open:
Ransomware attacks!
As soon as an attacker gets the opportunity to encrypt your data, this usually also affects all the data in your backups.
We have developed a solution for precisely this problem, which guarantees that your data is backed up in physical and off grid way.
Off grid storage
Off grid means that we secure your backups on physical, long-lasting data carriers and store them separated from the Internet. On request and depending on your desired service package, you can receive your backup data on physical data carriers by post in regular or irregular cycles. So you have your backup on site and do not need any further remote access to restore it! We store your data in a secure room with additional secure cabinets.
No one at Ancel Security has the ability to access your data at any time because you send it to us encrypted and only you have the key. The secured data carriers have no plain indication of which customer they belong to and reading the data carrier is only possible with necessary authentification.
Double encryption
Ancel Security stores your data in double encrypted form.
1. The first encryption takes place before the data is transferred from your servers to Ancel Security.
2. The keys are solely created on your machines and we won't store your private keys on our side. For creating the keys you can use your own tools but also the Ancel Security interfaces.
3. The second encryption is carried out by Ancel Security before the data is transferred to our read-only servers.
Easy operation via web interface and CLI
You can upload your data and manage access via the web interface. Here you define your backup and recovery strategies individually for specific use cases. For servers, databases, etc., we provide a standard command line interface (CLI) tool that can be integrated into your regular backup strategy. You can automate it as you wish, or ask us for further advice. Our tools can only be used via authorized and secure access.
