Overland-Tandberg, a leading provider of data management, backup
and storage solutions and brand of Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ:ANY)
(the “Company”), introduces its new rdxLOCK software, with the
RansomBlock feature for its removable disk archive system, RDX®.
Customers can now receive an rdxLOCK license along with any RDX
WORM medium. The license enables the RDX removable disk with WORM
(Write Once Read Many) functionality to help ensure revision
safety. In addition, the rdxLOCK can be deployed as RDX RansomBlock
to further protect RDX systems from malware.

Last year, a United States FBI Computer Crime
Study reported an average of 4,000 ransomware attacks a day
worldwide. In the same year, Osterman research cited that over 50%
of companies were hit with Ransomware attacks, highlighting that
the conventional backup and antivirus software solutions have not
been sufficient to protect company network data and online
operations.
Overland-Tandberg’s response to this problem is
the rdxLOCK software, which is available for all RDX QuikStor®
devices and QuikStation® appliances using RDX WORM media. rdxLOCK
enables the devices and appliances to be configured for audit-proof
data storage to comply with legal provisions and therefore, permit
offline backups. Moreover, the RansomBlock function guards the
medium from damaging software such as malware, Trojans,
crypto-viruses and particularly aggressive ransomware.
RansomBlock inhibits non-authorized data access
to RDX media and prevents malware from deleting, renaming or
manipulating data. For this purpose, operators can determine
application software with write permission on the RDX WORM medium
without modifying other security software. Non-authorized software,
however, is blocked from transcribing and changing automatically.
Also, if required, users may change the deployment scenario of
their WORM media and adjust the mode after re-formatting. It is
also possible to work with different PC and server systems as the
licenses are solely bound to the removable media. RDX media and
RansomBlock mode can be addressed via any conventional backup
software.
Veeam Backup and Replication has been verified
with RDX through the Veeam Technology Alliance Partnership for many
years. Nicolas Savides, Senior Director Alliances of Veeam
stated, “As a provider of availability software for our customers,
it is eminently important that new security technologies can be
integrated into existing infrastructures and processes seamlessly.
Overland-Tandberg’s rdxLOCK accomplishes this task without
restrictions and provides effective protection from malware for a
great number of our clients.”
Using rdxLOCK with WORM media in RansomBlock mode offers the
following advantages:
• Reliable protection from virus and ransomware attacks•
Transparent integration of backup applications• Automatic blocking
from ransomware and virus attacks • Whitelist- and blacklist
functions for applications • Compatibility with any RDX drive and
RDX QuikStation appliance• For Windows operating systems Windows 7,

“Ransomware has evolved into the most dangerous
cyber threat for organizations and companies with the demand that
existing data protection strategies be optimized," stated Hugo
Bergmann, Director of RDX Storage Product Line at the
Overland-Tandberg Data Storage Group. “RdxLOCK with WORM and
RansomBlock functionality facilitates the valuable and secure
combination of Onsite and Offsite backups."
Product Availability
The rdxLOCK software is now available for free
download and can be tested for 60 days at no charge. RDX WORM media
is obtainable with 1, 2 and 4 Terabyte (TB) storage capacities. The
