Academic Organizations– Academic organizations are prime ransomware targets due to the large volume of research, intellectual property, and financial data of staff and students in their possession.

Human Resource Departments – HR systems have the personnel and financial records that make them prime targets for ransomware attacks.

Use immutable storage –  Immutable object storage can store your essential data in a bucket and lock it to block further modification. Therefore, using immutable storage can secure your backups from ransom attacks, keeping them unchanged. 

Backup Frequently – Your backup frequency determines how much data you could potentially lose in a ransomware attack. As such, many experts recommend backing up critical data at least once hourly.
