AI-powered ransomware defense for your cloud data
MicroBackups detects threats in real time, triggers preemptive backups, and stores your data in immutable storage that even compromised admins can't touch. For Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.
Why native tools fail against ransomware
Google and Microsoft protect the infrastructure — not your data. Under the shared responsibility model, ransomware, insider threats, and accidental deletion are entirely your problem.
Cloud sync is ransomware's best friend
Real-time sync means an infected endpoint instantly overwrites clean files on OneDrive and Google Drive across every device. Native version history is limited — a weeks-long attack poisons every recovery point.
Backup retention has expiry dates
Microsoft 365 recycle bin: 93 days. Google Workspace trash: 30 days. After that, deleted data is gone permanently. Slow-moving attacks that go unnoticed for months leave zero recovery options.
Admin access can destroy your safety net
Most backup solutions allow deletion by privileged admins. Attackers who gain admin access — or disgruntled insiders — can wipe your entire backup history before you notice.
How MicroBackups stops ransomware
Continuous monitoring
Our AI engine monitors 20+ risk factors across your Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 tenants: unusual API spikes, file entropy changes, mass deletions, permission escalations, and more.
Instant threat detection
The moment anomalies appear, administrators receive instant alerts. No waiting for scheduled scans — detection happens in real time as changes occur.
Preemptive backup trigger
Before the attack can spread, MicroBackups automatically triggers additional high-frequency backups to preserve unaffected data and auto-labels the last known clean recovery points.
Immutable storage locks in clean data
All backups are written to WORM immutable storage. Once written, data cannot be altered, overwritten, or deleted — by anyone, including super admins or MicroBackups itself.
Granular recovery
Restore a single file, email, or an entire user account from any clean snapshot. Full metadata and permissions preserved. Export to PST or DOCX for offline audits.
Real-world attack scenarios — and how we stop them
The Silent Admin Compromise
A phishing email tricks your IT manager into approving a malicious MFA prompt. Within hours, the attacker escalates privileges and navigates to your backup console. They delete snapshots older than 48 hours, leaving only encrypted versions. Without immutable storage, you pay the ransom — or lose years of data.
✓ MicroBackups solution: MicroBackups uses WORM immutable storage. Even a compromised super admin cannot delete or modify backup snapshots.
The Ransomware Cloud Sync
A single infected endpoint pushes encrypted file versions to OneDrive or Google Drive in real time. Modern strains like LockBit and BlackCat overwrite clean files instantly. Native version history — limited to 30–93 days — is exhausted before anyone notices.
✓ MicroBackups solution: MicroBackups monitors file entropy changes and mass modifications. At the first sign of anomaly, it triggers preemptive snapshots and auto-labels the last clean recovery point.
The Ex-Employee Sabotage
A disgruntled sysadmin with retained credentials logs in post-termination. They systematically purge backups across your Microsoft 365 tenants. By the time you notice, your safety net is gone.
✓ MicroBackups solution: Immutable WORM policies at the storage layer make deletion impossible regardless of credentials. Granular audit logs capture every access attempt.
The Supply-Chain Ripple
A third-party app with over-scoped OAuth permissions gets breached. The attacker uses it as a foothold to access OneDrive, then corrupts weeks of incremental backups in minutes.
✓ MicroBackups solution: MicroBackups stores backups in isolated, air-gapped buckets (GCP/AWS) with object-level locks — completely separate from your production environment.
“After a ransomware attack encrypted 400GB of our OneDrive data, native retention was completely wiped out. With MicroBackups' immutable snapshots, we restored clean files from 72 hours prior in under 2 hours. Zero ransom paid.”
