In an era where ransomware attacks are not just encrypting data but actively seeking to cripple recovery efforts, the integrity and accessibility of backup systems have become paramount. This talk, "Are Your Backups Still Immutable, Even Though You Can't Access Them?", delivered by Ryan Kane and Roshank of Northwestern Mutual at Black Hat USA, dives deep into the security posture of modern immutable backup solutions. The speakers present a critical perspective on the common misconception that data immutability alone guarantees ransomware resilience, highlighting that even if data cannot be altered, its unavailability can be just as devastating.
