Asigra, a provider of backup and recovery software, has announced the general availability of Asigra Cloud Backup with Deep MFA. Deep Multi-Factor Authentication provides mission-critical layers of protection to secure policy settings and controls to prevent backup data deletions or malicious encryption caused by the use of malware (including ransomware) by criminal organizations or human error.With advanced ransomware a primary threat to backup data and the viability of business operations, protection against destructive cyberattacks has become an increasing priority for organizations and managed service providers retraining their focus on reducing the damage caused by such events.In recent ransomware attacks on backup data, ransomware first entered the network and was then backed up, where it initially remained silent and undetected.

The software provides greater control over permissions to delete data from a backup ..
