Cyber threats continue to develop at a rapid pace. Attackers are constantly adapting their methods, searching for new vulnerabilities, and finding new ways to maximise the impact of their attacks.

Recent ransomware trends highlight the growing challenge facing IT and security teams. Veeam’s Risk to Resilience Report found that 69% of organisations suffered at least one ransomware attack involving encryption or data exfiltration during the previous 12 months.

However, the threat is not just growing in volume. Ransomware groups are also changing how they operate. Many attacks now involve data theft alongside encryption, while others focus on increasing disruption and extending recovery times. As a result, organisations need a clearer understanding of modern attacker tactics and the risks they create.

Furthermore, the organisations that stay informed about ransomware trends are often better positioned to identify emerging threats, adapt their security strategies, and make more informed decisions about cyber resilience investments

Understanding how the threat landscape is evolving has become essential for IT leaders, security teams, and decision-makers responsible for maintaining business continuity. The more organisations understand current ransomware trends, the better prepared they are to respond to new challenges as they emerge.

For many organisations, backups are considered the final layer of protection during a cyber incident.

However, a backup only delivers value if it remains available and usable during recovery. If attackers can alter, encrypt or delete backup data, recovery efforts can become significantly more complex.

As a result, organisations are increasingly focusing on backup resilience.

Backup resilience goes beyond simply creating copies of data. It involves ensuring backups remain protected, secure, and available even if other parts of the environment become compromised.

Furthermore, businesses are looking for ways to strengthen recovery confidence, reduce downtime, and improve their ability to restore services quickly following an attack.

These challenges form a key part of the discussion during the webinar.

One of the most significant developments in backup protection is the adoption of immutable backup storage.

Immutable backup storage prevents anyone from changing, encrypting or deleting backup data for a specified period. Consequently, organisations can maintain access to trusted recovery points even if attackers gain access to parts of the IT environment.

This additional layer of protection has become increasingly important as ransomware trends continue to evolve.

Rather than relying solely on perimeter defences, organisations are now looking at ways to strengthen their recovery strategy. Immutable backup storage provides another level of assurance that critical data remains available when recovery is required.

During the webinar, attendees will learn how immutable backup technologies fit into broader cyber resilience and business continuity strategies.

Many organisations invest heavily in technologies designed to prevent cyber-attacks. While prevention remains important, no organisation can eliminate risk.

Therefore, the question is no longer just how to stop an attack. Organisations must also consider how quickly they can recover.

Recovery readiness requires confidence in people, processes, and technology. It means understanding whether backup data is protected, whether recovery procedures have been tested, and whether critical systems can be restored efficiently.

Consequently, organisations that invest in recovery preparedness are often better positioned to minimise disruption and maintain business continuity following an incident.

The webinar will examine these challenges and provide practical insight into what recovery readiness looks like in modern IT environments.

Hosted by Simoda and Object First, this thought leadership webinar combines expert insight, practical guidance, and real-world discussion.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of:

• The latest ransomware trends impacting organisations today
• How attackers are increasingly targeting backup infrastructure
• Why recovery readiness is becoming a business priority
• The role immutable backup storage plays in strengthening resilience
• Practical approaches to reducing risk across Veeam environments
• Steps organisations can take to improve recovery confidence

In addition, the webinar will explore why traditional backup strategies may no longer be sufficient on their own and what organisations should consider when evaluating their recovery capabilities.

In addition to the expert presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A session.

This is your chance to ask questions about ransomware trends, backup resilience, immutable storage, recovery planning, or specific challenges within your own environment.

Whether you’re responsible for cybersecurity, infrastructure, data protection, or business continuity, the session provides a valuable opportunity to gain practical advice from experienced specialists.

Join Simoda and Object First on 29th September from 2:00pm to 2:45pm for Ransomware Trends and the Advantage of Immutable Backups. During this expert-led webinar, you’ll gain insight into the latest ransomware trends, learn why backup resilience has become a business priority, and discover how immutable backup storage can help strengthen recovery confidence.
