Enhancing the Git Restore Process with Azure DevOps and GitProtect

In this video, we will walk you through the new Git Restore process in GitProtect, highlighting its compatibility with platforms like Azure DevOps, GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. We will explain how we can enhance the restore efficiency by using additional credentials and access tokens, allowing for more API requests. A key feature of Azure DevOps is the ability to restore repositories from the same backup set, ensuring consistency. I encourage you to add these additional credentials to GitProtect for a smoother experience.

Hypervisor Encryption: Shutting Down Recovery

Ransomware isn’t just about locking files anymore; attackers like Scattered Spider can take entire backup systems offline. Joe Hladik explains how hypervisor encryption lets them access virtualization interfaces and encrypt entire ESXi clusters, leaving organizations with no way to recover. Joe lays out why this tactic is so dangerous: it turns a backup, your last line of defense, into another point of failure.

When Firewalls Age Out: What the Akira Attack Can Teach Us About Lifecycle Security
