Ransomware’s New Target: Your Backup Strategy

Ransomware attacks are evolving, and in Ransomware’s New Target: Your Backup Strategy, we explore how attackers are no longer stopping at endpoints.

Today’s threat actors are deliberately targeting backup infrastructure, the management plane, and even service providers as part of coordinated double and triple extortion strategies.

These attacks are designed to undermine trust in recovery and eliminate the safety net organizations depending on most.

In this session, we’ll break down how modern ransomware campaigns unfold across backup and control layers and what that means for your ability to recover after an attack.

You’ll come away with a clear view of where your recovery strategy is most exposed and practical ways to harden it.

What You’ll Learn

• Why modern ransomware campaigns are targeting backup systems, management planes, and service providers
• How double and triple extortion tactics are designed to disrupt recovery—not just operations
• The key architectural attack paths used to compromise backup infrastructure and control layers
• How to clearly communicate these risks to both technical and business stakeholders
• Where recovery strategies can fall short and how to strengthen resilience in response

Why This Matters

Ransomware has evolved beyond prevention.

When attackers target the systems you rely on to recover, traditional approaches can fall short.

Ransomware’s New Target: Your Backup Strategy reframes recovery as a core pillar of resilience, not just a final step after an incident.

Who Should Attend

• MSPs responsible for backup, disaster recovery, and customer resilience
• IT and security teams accountable for business continuity and recovery outcomes
• Security leaders evaluating recovery readiness and risk exposure
• Anyone responsible for protecting backup infrastructure and recovery workflows
