Security Alert

Your backup won't stop the next Ransomware

13 May 2026 · 5 min read Infrastructure

60% of SMEs that suffer a cyberattack close in under 6 months. Relying solely on a traditional backup against modern ransomware is the digital equivalent of leaving the key in the safe door.

GDPR Alert: Double extortion means attackers extract your data before encrypting it. AEPD fines can force technical bankruptcy.

The anatomy of the attack: Lateral Movement and Double Extortion

The hijacking of connected backups

If your network drive (NAS) is accessible from a compromised server, the ransomware will encrypt it within the first few minutes of execution.

The Double Extortion trap

You won't just be paying to recover your operations, you'll be paying to prevent your SQL databases from ending up auctioned on public forums.

⚠️

Traditional Backup

Vulnerable to lateral propagation and deletion by compromised administrators.

🛡️

Immutable Backup

Hardware-locked (WORM). Impossible to encrypt or prematurely delete.
