Guidance Software is giving a webinar on 5 February at 11am PST / 2pm EST called The end of wipe and image as we know it. The title refers to a standard approach to security breaches where malware triggers a security breach and the company’s IT teams rush to deal with it by wiping the affected drives and restoring them from their image files.
Even if you assume that any data, system preferences etc have been stored or copied elsewhere, this approach can result in severe downtime, with the drive inaccessible whilst the re-imaging takes place.
This webinar, presented by Ale Espinosa, Senior Product Strategist at Guidance Software, suggests a different way.
