- Failover in a matter of seconds to the latest clean version
- Failover in a separate fire compartment Hallstadt data centre
- 100% data sovereignty in Germany
A line of defence against ransomware
Ransomware targets your data – and your backups. cProtect provides frequent, immutable snapshots and turns an emergency into a controlled process.
Fine-grained replication
Your systems are replicated every 15 minutes – in the event of an emergency, you’ll lose minutes at most, not days.
Unchanging social classes
Restore points are protected against subsequent encryption and tampering – even a compromised system cannot destroy them.
Failover in seconds
Instead of spending days on recovery, you can switch to the last clean state in a matter of seconds – and business continues as usual.
Processes & Experts
Well-defined emergency procedures and experienced centron experts will guide you through an emergency – from the initial alarm right through to normal operations.
From an attack back to business as usual – in minutes
The scenario: Ransomware encrypts your production environment. With cProtect, you can switch to the latest clean replication point – no more than 15 minutes old – and carry on working whilst the incident is being analysed. Combined with cBacks for long-term backups and the Managed Firewall for prevention, this creates a resilient protection strategy.
- The emergency rehearsed – switching to the last clean state
- Keep working during analysis the incident does not block operations
- cBacks for the long term backups beyond the replication window
- Managed Firewall for prevention – repelling attacks before they take effect

How much does ransomware protection cost at centron?
cProtect costs 3 cents per gigabyte of protected data at centron and starts from €0.03 per month – billing is based on the actual volume protected, not a flat rate. The protection replicates your systems every 15 minutes into immutable snapshots, meaning that the maximum data loss in the event of a ransomware attack is 15 minutes; failover to the backup environment takes place within seconds. The failover system is located in a separate fire compartment of the Hallstadt data centre near Bamberg, certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz, entirely within Germany; availability follows the SLA of the underlying infrastructure.
