New White Paper Highlights Crucial Role of Active Archiving in Defeating Ransomware Attacks

Boulder, Colo., December 15, 2021 – The Active Archive Alliance today announced a new white paper by the Data Center Intelligence Group (DCIG), “Mitigating Ransomware through Active Archive Solutions,” highlighting the importance of active archiving in defending against ransomware attacks.
