Judges Recognize Asigra Cloud Backup Evolved V14 and TrueNAS Backup Appliance for
Anti-Ransomware and GDPR Compliance Innovations.

Toronto, Canada, February 05, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Asigra Inc., a leading cloud backup, recovery and
restore software provider since 1986 today announced that the company has been recognized as a finalist
in two categories of the 2018 Storage Magazine / SearchStorage.com Product of the Year Awards. The
company's leadership placement in both the Backup and DR Software and Backup and DR Hardware
categories is attributed to new capabilities that include powerful ransomware Attack-Loop prevention and
comprehensive GDPR compliance features.

The top products considered in the backup and disaster recovery (DR) software and services category
include backup and recovery software, cloud backup and recovery services, DR, snapshot and replication
software, electronic vaulting and archiving software. Products compared in the hardware category include
stand-alone disk and tape systems, backup software integrated with hardware appliances and gateway
appliances for cloud backup and replication. Asigra was named in both categories for both its software
and integrated TrueNAS backup appliance.

According to the editors of Storage Magazine and SearchStorage.com, “Version 14 of Asigra Cloud
Backup software focuses on what the longtime vendor calls the ransomware Attack-Loop, which
infiltrates backups and stays dormant until data is recovered following an attack. Asigra integrates
anti-ransomware technology in the data backup and restore streams and uses bi-directional malware
detection. The data backup and recovery tool also features GDPR compliance tools and Office 365 data
protection.”

Malware coders developed new ransomware strands that incorporate an Attack-Loop that is placed within
a victim's system for a period of time, infiltrating backups and infecting the backup set. At a set point in
time in what could be many months, the virus detonates and encrypts the victim's data, requiring the
company to pay a ransom to get the data back. Asigra provides the first and only solution to prevent the
tampering or destruction of backup data.

Asigra Cloud Backup Evolved is version 14 of the company's software, converging data protection and IT
security for 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 delivers the most effective anti-ransomware solution in the industry for backup data using several
layered techniques to prevent ransomware from entering or leaving the backup set,” said David Farajun,
CEO, Asigra. “We are elated that the experts at Storage Magazine/SearchStorage.com agree with us and
