Protect File Data from Ransomware at 80% Lower Costs.
An Affordable Ransomware Strategy for All Data
Komprise helps organizations protect file data from ransomware at 80% lower cost through a combination of transparent cloud tiering and replication of all data to an object-locked location with file-level isolation. Komprise cuts active data management costs while enhancing an organization’s ransomware protection posture.

SHRINK RANSOMWARE COSTS WITH TIERING
Since 70-80% of file data is cold and has not been accessed in a year or more, it doesn’t make sense to keep it on expensive storage and backup systems. Komprise makes ransomware protection affordable by transparently tiering cold data from primary storage into a resilient object-locked destination. You can maintain transparent access of tiered data with Komprise Transparent Move Technology (TMT) and only backup your hot data. You also gain more space on primary storage for snapshots which means more recovery points.
DEFEND WITH IMMUTABLE CLOUD STORAGE
Build a layered defense against file data ransomware. Answer the evolving threat of file data ransomware by creating immutable storage copies of your data in the cloud. Read the blog.
- Ransomware Immunity: Protect data from deletion and alteration, set retention period, and create a virtual air gap.
- Always-Available Data: Get instant access to your data in native format. No waiting for restore to complete. No vendor lock in.
- Comply with Regulations: Object Lock is validated for SEC Rule 17a-4(f), FINRA Rule 4511, CFTC Regulation 1.31.
INSTANT ACCESS IN THE CLOUD + BETTER DR
Komprise copies your files as native objects in cloud object storage and keeps the file metadata intact. You can view the copied and tiered data as files by mounting Komprise. When Komprise moves a file to its destination, the entire file is isolated, as opposed to block-level tiering which only isolate parts of the file. If a newer version of a file gets infected with ransomware, you can still recover older versions of the file.
CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT
By tiering 60-70% of its data to Microsoft Azure Blob storage, which is immutable object storage that is read-only access, Katten now has a more proactive security posture to thwart ransomware actors. The tiering also reduces its attack surface.
“This has provided the firm with an even larger incentive to move stale data more aggressively to the cloud.”

How does Komprise data tiering reduce ransomware costs?
The rising cost of ransomware defense, especially for petabytes of unstructured data, is a major roadblock for organizations. By effectively eliminating cold data from the attack surface of ransomware, a Hybrid Tiering approach protects the cold data without additional copies. So you get additional protection while lowering costs. Hybrid Tiering at the file level protects your cold data from ransomware attacks while eliminating the need for extra copies of the data.
Does Komprise offer a ransomware solution?
Unstructured file data may not always be critical, but that does not mean it is immune to ransomware attacks. In fact, it can actually be more vulnerable to attack because the surface area is bigger – billions of files generated that are accessed by many different applications and users.
Komprise Intelligent Data Management is part of a multi-layered ransomware defense solution, helping to shrink +70% of the ransomware attack surface thus improving the defense posture and reducing costs by 70% across all on-premises and cloud storage solutions.
How does Komprise reduce ransomware risk across unstructured data?
Komprise helps organizations dramatically shrink their ransomware attack surface by addressing the biggest security blind spot: cold, inactive unstructured data that often makes up 70% of an organization’s footprint. This data is often unprotected, widely accessible, and can go months before a breach is detected, making it a prime target for attackers. Komprise protects this cold data in three key ways:
1. Shrinks the ransomware attack surface: Komprise Intelligent Data Management tiers cold files off expensive primary storage and moves them to secure, immutable cloud object storage. This lowers risk and liability by reducing the amount of data exposed to attack.
2. Preserves and supports tamperproof snapshots: Unlike traditional storage-tiering approaches, Komprise Transparent Move Technology (TMT) moves data at the file level, not the block level. This means your existing tamperproof snapshots remain intact, giving you reliable pre-attack recovery points. Read the Blocks vs. File Tiering White Paper.
3. Adds cold data immutability for extra protection: By moving cold data into immutable cloud storage with versioning enabled, Komprise ensures attackers can’t access, alter, or encrypt that data, and you always have an untouched version available for restore.
The result? Up to a 70% reduction in ransomware risk and cost, while allowing organizations to concentrate premium security tools on the mission-critical data that truly needs them.
