Google Workspace Ransomware Protection

Ransomware attacks are now one of the most common forms of cybercrime in the cloud. SaaS applications generate an insane amount of SaaS data. Ransomware gangs are targeting SaaS data at rates never seen before with the rise of technologies and remote work due to the pandemics.

SpinRDR provides 24/7, patented, AI-driven ransomware monitoring, complete visibility into the scope of the damage when a ransomware attack occurs, and real-time alerting.

No ransomware detection and response tools can guarantee 100% protection against ransomware. While SpinRDR provides 24/7 AI-driven ransomware monitoring that proactively detects ransomware patterns and responds to them immediately in real-time, it cannot prevent ransomware attacks. Instead, it acts as your last line of defense and focuses on reducing damages and downtime caused by a ransomware attack. It blocks the attack and restores your files in less than 2 hours – the fastest SLA on the market.

Here’s how SpinRDR responds upon detecting ransomware:

1. blocks the source of a ransomware attack to immediately stop the spread and reduce the impact of a ransomware attack
2. isolates damaged files once a ransomware attack is detected, preventing any further encryption of your SaaS data
3. recovers any affected files from the last successfully backed-up version
4. sends immediate security alerts while automated protection is taking place
