There is a ransomware attack every 11 seconds. Is your organization ready? 

Get Multi-Layered Security That Protects Against Threats 

Disaster recovery is the last line of defense from a ransomware attack, and no matter your role, protecting your organization’s digital assets is a top priority. VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery is an on-demand disaster recovery service that provides an easy-to-use Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution and offers cloud economics to keep your disaster recovery costs under control. Organizations can use VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery to protect their vSphere virtual machines by replicating them to the cloud and recovering them as needed to a target VMware Cloud Software Define Data Center (SDDC).
