JACKSONVILLE, Fla .– (BUSINESS WIRE) – Everything Blockchain Inc., (OTCMKTS: OBTX), a technology company that enables the use of blockchain in the real world to solve critical business problems, today announced the filing of a patent application for EBI Blockchain Drive (EB Drive). EB Drive, one of the first blockchain-enabled ransomware solutions, will enable companies to protect themselves from the threat posed by the ever-increasing problem of ransomware attacks.
The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) found that the number of ransomware attacks increased by 13% between 2020 and 2021 – a larger jump than the last five years combined. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts ransomware will cost its victims around $ 265 billion annually by 2031, with a new attack (on a consumer or business) every two seconds. The threat of ransom affects all industries, from oil and gas to hospitals, retailers and payment processors.
Conventional approaches to data storage rely on a local or network hard drive, and both are vulnerable to ransomware attacks when legitimate user credentials are compromised. In these cases, an attacker encrypts data until a payment is received, but there is no guarantee that an attacker will ever decrypt the data, leaving organizations lacking a backup and recovery strategy at a serious disadvantage. EB Drive ensures that data is consistently backed up in an immutable blockchain book that will protect a company’s intellectual property in the event of a ransom program.
“EB Drive’s innovative and new use of the blockchain’s inherent immutability ensures that locally stored data is impervious to ransomware attacks from bad players,” said Cedric Harris, Research Director, EBI. “With EB Drive, we bring a winning ransomware solution to the market that enables all businesses, regardless of industry, to protect their data.”
“The development of blockchain technology into tangible assets is the natural evolution of the industry, and a confirmation of our business philosophy: blockchain for all and sundry,” said Eric Jaffe, CEO, EBI.
