insideBIGDATA dedicated its latest column “Heard on the Street” to cybersecurity, drawing on commentary from various thought leaders in data protection. Here, ObjectFirst’s Director of Technical Marketing, Anthony Cusimano, emphasized how lately, ransomware actors tended to corrupt exfiltrated data and then return it like that to the victim company after the received ransom. Immutable backups are the only way to prevent that.

David Bennet, CEO at Object First, described ransomware as the modern-day version of “hostage taking” in a bank robbery to facilitate an outcome. “Now you can essentially expand ‘bank robbing’ to a wide market with the click of a mouse,” Bennet said.
