How to Fight Ransomware with Nexsan Assureon

Among all cyber threats, ransomware attacks are some of the most damaging. They spread rapidly across networks, are extremely difficult to remove, and lock you out of critical files until a ransom is paid.

Nexsan Assureon - Secure Archive for Law Enforcement

Law enforcement has seen a dramatic increase in evidentiary data with the introduction and implementation of tools such as audio recorders, in-car cameras, drones, mobile phone data, and body-worn cameras. These tools not only expedite trial processes by providing concrete evidence in court, they have also proven to better both civilian and officer behavior during any type of interaction between the two. The added eyes and ears of the cameras and audio recorders have increased trust between both parties, allowing officers to avoid complaints and lawsuits while suspects avoid further charges. The benefits of these tools can be easily seen on both ends, but the associated time and costs of keeping such massive amounts of data is taxing budgets.
