Could a versioned filesystem definitively beat ransomware?

Versioned filesystems can indeed help in mitigating the impact of ransomware attacks by enabling easy recovery. By maintaining multiple versions of files, users can roll back to a clean version before the ransomware attack occurred. This can help restore files without having to pay the ransom or lose data permanently. However, while versioned filesystems can be a valuable part of a broader cybersecurity strategy, they may not provide a definitive solution on their own. Other security measures such as regular backups, strong access controls, and employee training on cybersecurity best practices are also crucial in defending against ransomware attacks.
