Our latest Tech Means Business podcast episode dives into a tough truth: ransomware isn’t just after your data anymore, it’s coming for your backups.

The numbers say it all:

• 66% of organisations have been attacked at least once in the last two years
• 96% of attacks targeted backup data

In “The Ultimate Defence Against Ransomware Attacks: When Immutable Is Still Fallible,” Anthony Cusimano and Andy French from Object First unpack:

• Why many “immutable” backups aren’t actually immutable
• What Absolute Immutability really means (zero access to destructive actions)
• The human cost of ransomware — stress, burnout, and nonstop pressure on IT teams
• How simplicity and the right architecture can make data truly untouchable

If ransomware resilience is on your radar, this episode is worth a listen.

Ransomware attacks aren’t slowing down, and the data proves it. In our latest Tech Means Business episode, Object First’s Anthony Cusimano and Andy French reveal why 96% of ransomware attacks now target backup data, and why 50% of victims can't recover within a week.

We explore:
● Why many so-called immutable backups are still vulnerable
● The critical importance of rapid, reliable recovery
● How backup architecture, storage design, and ease of use make or break resilience
● Object First’s approach to verification through third-party pe*******on testing
● The mounting stress facing IT teams defending against constant threats

“66% of organisations were attacked at least once in the last two years… and in almost every case, the backup data was a primary target.”

If your business values uptime, continuity, and its digital assets, this is a must-listen.
