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.

Business Continuity in Practice

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.

Ransomware protection – cost and performance

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.

cProtect FAQ

Everything you need to know about cProtect

What is cProtect?

centron’s ransomware protection: your systems are replicated every 15 minutes, recovery points are stored in an immutable format, and in the event of an emergency, you can switch to the latest clean state in a matter of seconds via failover.

How does cProtect differ from backups?

Backups using cBacks ensure regular and long-term protection – but restoring large systems takes time. cProtect complements frequent replication with failover within seconds: operations continue whilst the incident is being resolved. Our Disaster Recovery guide explains how both elements fit into an overall strategy.

What does RPO ≤ 15 minutes mean?

Recovery Point Objective: The latest available recovery point is no more than 15 minutes old. This means that, in the event of an emergency, you will lose data from no more than a quarter-hour window.

Can attackers destroy the restore points?

The states are stored in an immutable format – even a compromised system with administrator rights cannot encrypt or delete them.

How do I combine cProtect with high availability?

When configuring your ccloud³, select the High Availability Pool: your VM will run on redundant infrastructure with a 99.8 per cent uptime SLA, whilst all data is mirrored in real time across multiple cloud nodes. Combined with cProtect, this provides a comprehensive protection package against outages, data loss and ransomware.

How do I get started with cProtect?

During the security consultation, we analyse your systems and recovery objectives and define the appropriate level of protection. Please contact our sales team to arrange this.
