What is fault tolerant server (ft Server) ?
Fault-tolerant describes a computer system or component designed so that, in the event that a component fails, a backup component or procedure can immediately take its place with no loss of service. At a hardware level, fault tolerance is achieved by duplexing each hardware component. Disks are mirrored. Multiple processors are "lock-stepped" together and their outputs are compared for correctness. When an anomaly occurs, the faulty component is determined and taken out of service, but the machine continues to function as usual.

What is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a type of malware that restricts access to the infected computer system in some way, and demands that the user pay a ransom to the malware operators to remove the restriction. Some forms of Ransomware systematically encrypt files on the system's hard drive, which become difficult or impossible to decrypt without paying the ransom for the encryption key, while some may simply lock the system and display messages intended to coax the user into paying. Ransomware typically propagates as a trojan, whose payload is disguised as a seemingly legitimate file.

Solutions of Ransomware
To survive from the new waive Ransomware attacks, users may adapt both preventive and protective method to tackle it. From preventive aspect, companies should review their IT security policy and equipments, ensuring the cyber defense is comprehensive and powerful enough to protect itself from initial infection of Ransomware. Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall reduces the scope of your security challenge at the outset by eliminating opportunities for malware to get into your network.
For protective method, the most effective solution to recover from an attack by Ransomware relies largely on whether a good backup policy is employed for your data and entire system backups. It is commonly agreed that backing up your important data on a regular basis is the most reliable method for recovering infected systems. Companies with a good backup process will be able to retrieve data encrypted by the attackers from previous backup files. Veritas automated file backup and protection for desktops and laptops. All you need is a web browser and mobile app to a quick recovery that get you back on track.

| Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall - WildFire How Palo Alto Networks Stop CryptoLocker CryptoLocker (Ransomware) finds its targets like other attacks: phishing emails leading a user to a malicious download site and drive-by infections. CryptoLocker has been observed sending zipped PDF files which are actually disguised .exe files. WildFire is able to look inside of zip files, and analyze unknown executables. Because it does not just looking at file name and hash value, variants of core versions are easily detected and blocked by policy. The Desktop and Laptop Option is a network share–based protection and synchronization solution for Windows and Mac that enhances your current IT desktop and laptop protection policies using your existing IT infrastructure. It enables continuous, nonintrusive backup of files, regardless of whether a computer is connected to the network (corporate or public) or offline. As new core versions are released, those versions are detonated within WildFire, identified as malware, and shared across WildFire subscribers in less than an hour. Consider adding the WildFire subscription to your Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewall to ensure timely receipt of intelligence on new versions.
