Announcing Geyser Data's New Air Gap Feature: Unmatched Protection Against Ransomware and Malware

In today's increasingly digital world, businesses face a growing threat from cyberattacks, with ransomware and malware emerging as some of the most formidable adversaries. At Geyser Data, we understand the importance of safeguarding your critical data, which is why we are thrilled to introduce our latest feature: Air Gap.


What is Air Gap?

Air Gap is a powerful new addition to our Cloud Tape Library service that allows you to disconnect your data entirely from the internet. By enabling Air Gap, the Bucket associated with your Cloud Tape Library is completely isolated, making the Tapes that contain your data inaccessible. This level of disconnection is crucial in preventing unauthorized access, particularly in the event of a ransomware attack or other malware infiltration.

Why Air Gap is Essential

While many backup solutions offer immutability as a protective measure, immutability alone may not be enough. Malicious actors can sometimes manipulate time settings, tricking backup software into believing that the retention period has expired, allowing them to alter or delete your data. This is where the Air Gap feature truly shines. By physically disconnecting your data from any network access, Air Gap provides an additional layer of security that renders your data untouchable, even by the most sophisticated malware.


Enhanced Security, Simplified Management

The Air Gap feature is designed with user convenience in mind. You can easily turn Air Gap on or off directly from our management GUI, giving you full control over when your data is connected or isolated. This flexibility ensures that you can maintain regular access to your data when needed while instantly securing it during periods of heightened risk.


A Strategic Move Against Cyber Threats

Recent research highlights the growing consumer concern over data security, with 81% of consumers expressing worry about cyberattacks against their personal data​. As businesses, the responsibility to protect sensitive information has never been greater. Implementing advanced protection strategies like Geyser Data’s Air Gap is not just about preventing data breaches—it's about maintaining customer trust and loyalty in a world where data integrity is paramount.


Experience the Future of Data Security

With the launch of the Air Gap feature, Geyser Data continues to lead the way in providing innovative, secure, and reliable cloud storage solutions. Protect your data against the evolving landscape of cyber threats and ensure your business is prepared for anything.
