Asigra Recognized in 2019 Business Continuity Awards for Most Innovative

Product of the Year

Asigra Cloud Backup Evolved V14 Named for Anti-Ransomware and GDPR Compliance
Innovations.

Toronto, Canada, April 30, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup, recovery and restore
software provider since 1986, today announced the company has been recognized as a finalist in the CIR
Magazine Business Continuity Awards. The company was named for the advancements in its enhanced
cloud-based data protection platform, Asigra Cloud Backup™ Evolved V14, which include unique and
effective anti-ransomware and GDPR compliance capabilities.

In its 20-year history, the Business Continuity awards by CIR Magazine have recognized companies that
present business continuity, security, resilience and risk professionals whose innovative strategies and
industry savvy make them stand out above the rest. The 2019 finalists will be judged by an independent
panel of experts for exceptional performance, service metrics, business presence and results in this
dynamic industry and will be recognized at a black-tie awards gala dinner and ceremony in London on
June 6, 2019.

While proper employee training and preventative IT security measures are necessary to securing the
corporate network, the last line of defense is the protection of recovery data from ransomware
Attack-Loops™. An Attack-Loop occurs when hackers insert executable code within the organization's
backup data. When an attack occurs, both primary and secondary data are impacted, preventing the
possibility of a clean recovery. To hide the code in the backup set, hackers insert the malware into data
objects and other techniques which are backed up and stored in the company's secondary storage
repository. After a time-delayed detonation, the company restores a pre-attack generation of data only to
realize that the recovery data re-inserts the ransomware into the network, recreating the ransomware for a
perpetual loop of attacks.

Asigra Cloud Backup Evolved prevents Attack-Loops from infecting backup data. The software provides
effective malware detection for safe, secure and reliable backup and data recovery. The enhanced
platform includes the industry's first zero-day Attack-Loop preventative technology using bi-directional
malware detection, zero-day exploit protection, variable repository naming, and two-factor authentication
(2FA) for a full defensive suite against advanced ransomware and other cyber-attacks on backup data.

Asigra also provides powerful GDPR compliance enablement features, allowing companies to delete data
at the request of the consumer citizen, including from backups. With Asigra, businesses can delete backup
data to the extent required to meet GDPR compliance requirements. It is then possible to provide
consumers with a certificate as evidence, forming part of an Effective Response to the Information
Commissioner's Office (ICO) in Europe.

“Asigra Cloud Backup Evolved has been widely acknowledged for the industry's most complete
cybersecurity and GDPR compliance powered solution, taking data protection to the next level,” said
