Today there are many threats to your data, and therefore, to your company’s well-being.
Natural disasters (like the devastation caused by hurricanes), simple accidents (like electrical fires or floods caused by plumbing), ransomware (like Cryptolocker), and human error (like deleting or changing the wrong file) can cause interruptions to your business that affect your bottom-line and your ability to serve your customers.
ISM wants to help.
We offer a variety of solutions designed to make your business invincible, secure, and instantly restorable at any time, specifically:
Ransomware Protection
There are three steps you have to take to protect yourself from ransomware. All three are critical and important to the overall protection strategy for your company:
- Education – Educate everyone in the company who has access to your computer network. Focus on awareness of social engineering and phishing schemes. Teach good security practices regarding email attachments.
- Antivirus – Up-to-date antivirus software is the key 2nd tier of protection for your network in the case an employee unwittingly opens an infected email attachment. Antivirus software will catch most ransomware attacks – but not all.
- Total Data Protection – Data protection software works in the background, quietly taking snapshots of your system throughout the day. In the case ransomware gets through the first 2 tiers of protection, data protection software allows you to simply roll back to an uninfected state.

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery
There are 3 types of disasters to consider when protecting your network:
- System Disasters – 66% of companies in 61 countries experienced at least 1 cyber incident last year, rendering the organization’s computer system either infected or inoperable.
- Natural Disasters – Since 2010 we have experienced an average of 336 natural disasters per year. Disasters have cost the global economy an average of $147 billion per year since 2000.
- Human Error Disasters – The most frequent and common “disaster” that can strike a company is unintentional human error. A single poor choice by a single employee resulting in even a small data loss can cost between $18,000 and $36,000 (the average cost of an event resulting in less than 100 data files).
To protect your network from disaster, you have options based on the size of your systems and the level of protection you require:
Disaster Recovery as a Service
How do you protect your business from disaster?
You need a disaster recovery plan that is reliable, simple, and quick – and can ensure that your entire business infrastructure can be recovered within seconds. Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) offers a disaster recovery plan that is visible, scalable, and affordable.
Business-critical data, systems, desktops, servers, and the entire infrastructure must be protected and recoverable.
With secure local virtualization solutions, if disaster strikes, your entire infrastructure (physical or virtual) is virtualized instantly, empowering you to continue your business operations without losing any data, incurring any damage, or experiencing any downtime.
How ISM can help you with Disaster Recovery as a Service:
Cloud-to-Cloud SaaS Backup
SaaS providers, like Google, Microsoft, and SalesForce, can be trusted with your data. A breach or outage on their end is highly unlikely. However, they won’t be much help when it comes to user error, malicious attacks, compliance issues, and user management. A Cloud-to-Cloud (C2C) backup and recovery solution is the only fix for preventing data loss, downtime, and the related financial losses that follows.
C2C helps protect you from:
- User Error
- Malicious Attacks
- Compliance Issues
- User Management Issues
C2C is the way to simply, securely, and automatically maintain control of your SaaS data.
