The agency already knew that they needed a way to connect their two locations in Brazil via a secure VPN connection. However, a new challenge appeared when the agency was attacked by ransomware. They knew they not only needed to have a reliable back-up solution in place but were interested in finding a way to prevent future ransomware attacks as well. The attack impacted the servers, affecting payment of more than 900 employees and other pertinent business expenses. “We always thought that this ransomware trend wouldn't affect us, that we could work it out in case of an attack and (most importantly) that our backup systems would be a safe bet,” reflected Luís Henrique Tetsuo Abeno de Mambro, IT manager at Café Comunicação Integrada. Luis and his team quickly learned that they needed something else in place to protect their employees and customers from these attacks.
