Once Shut, is always Shut: Truth about Research and Development

Recently, storage giant QNAP released an official alert about its vulnerability to a ransom-ware called eCh0raix. If you are using QNAP storage device, you are at risk of loosing all your data. Please check this link,

It has been almost a month, storage maker is still clue-less. It is alarming. I always believe that tech enterprises invest in R and D when they are striving to gain market share. As soon as decent business is achieved, sales orientation overshadows R and D orientation. This is a classic example, when tech enterprise defocuses from R and D to focus on sales.

As a leader of a tech enterprise, we have always regarded R and D as an important characteristic for our survival and growth. That’s how BLACKbox is formidable. None of our thousands of users have lost data to ransomware in last 11 years. Our DCDC technology and auto zoning of data in bit-locked and bit-unlocked state has always slapped the ransom-ware when it attacked. Watch this video,

With this, I also want to break the notion that if you have firewall and antivirus, you are immune of ransom-ware, it is very risky, if you believe this notion.

Most content on internet narrates preventive practices to keep Ransomware away, most popularly, Antivirus and Firewalls.
I found very little content or advisory on how to recover if Ransomware has struck you by outsmarting all your defense, i.e. Antivirus and Firewall.

Antivirus and Firewall is a loose plan, it does not help once you are struck.
They are like a vaccine which you take and hope that you will not catch up with diseases. But when you really catch up with diseases, vaccine will not help you recover as soon as possible. Similarly, Antivirus or Firewall, will try to keep Ransomware at bay, but it will not help you to recover as soon as possible, once you are struck.

Our path breaking technology BLACKbox, focuses on how to recover as soon as possible when all your defense is outsmarted and shattered by Ransomware. It works as below.

A. All your old / past / frozen data is shifted to Vault part of BLACKbox which is bit locked.B. Users can use above data but cannot modify it.C. Ongoing current data is stored in workspace part of BLACKbox on which users work.D. BLACKbox files this workspace daily on a time machine.E. Regularly, data is automatically / manually moved from workspace to vault based on modification date.

Now, when Ransomware strikes your data, Vault is unaffected and simply switch your workspace to previous time slot and keep working.
That’s all for this time.
