“Modern ransomware strains explicitly target cloud backups and shadow copies before encrypting production nodes. Learn how to architect air-gapped immutable storage under the 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule.”
When threat actors breach enterprise cloud environments, their first operational phase is almost always backup destruction. By disabling automated snapshots and encrypting storage accounts, attackers eliminate the victim's ability to recover without paying ransoms.
