To help our customers secure their content and minimize business disruption, even in the face of a ransomware incident, Box has released our new Content Recovery tool. This tool streamlines and accelerates the process of recovering content encrypted or destroyed by ransomware, while also providing a level of precision beyond that offered by simply rolling back to a system snapshot.
Ransomware is one of the most well-known and feared tools in bad actors’ arsenals, enabling them to lock up your content and hold it hostage until you meet their demands. Regardless of the method of breach, ransomware is the most common payload left behind, making it essential that organizations have methods in place to swiftly identify the malicious content, respond to it, and recover from the damage done.
Box has rolled out the first piece of our Ransomware Protection suite, Content Recovery. This new capability enables admins to view users’ activity related to ransomware events occurring within the past 30 days, and recover altered or trashed content within that timeframe. Admins can filter by date, specific actions taken on files (change action, trash action), and filenames. Content Recovery significantly reduces a recovery process that could take days or even weeks, and is able to recover thousands of files in minutes.
This new capability is available for any organizations with Box Shield.
