Goal
To prevent ransomware encryption of DATASTOR storage and implement storage redundancy for expanded recovery options.
The Strategy
Implement correct security settings on storage devices through NTFS permissions and/or Share permissions, and refrain from logging onto any computers with the user accounts associated with DATASTOR.
