Overview

In addition to the general actions for protecting against ransomware (Protecting Against Ransomware (General Actions)), both HSS and CBR can improve your comprehensive ransomware defense capability.

Currently, ransomware is frequently upgraded and evolved. HSS can detect ransomware and identify system risks, but it cannot provide protection against 100% of the viruses out there. You can use CBR to improve ransomware prevention capabilities and reduce the impact of ransomware attacks. If only CBR is configured, the system may fail to restore the data generated between the last backup and the ransomware attack. You can use HSS to detect ransomware in real time and minimize data loss. Therefore, you are advised to use both HSS and CBR to protect companies before, during, and after ransomware attacks.

Ransomware Protection Configuration

According to Huawei Cloud security event statistics, using HSS and CBR together can greatly improve your comprehensive ransomware defense capabilities. To provide strongest ransomware protection with these services, you are advised to enable the ransomware protection policy of the HSS premium edition and enable and configure hour-level permanent CBR backup.
