Bridgehead + Zerto: Cyber Resiliency in Action

Posted: Jul 2025

Ransomware attacks are not just more frequent, they’re more sophisticated and damaging. Businesses need more than traditional security tools; they need a cyber resiliency strategy that ensures rapid recovery and business continuity. That’s where Bridgehead IT, a trusted Zerto partner and full-service technology solutions provider, comes in.

The Ransomware Reality: Why Resiliency Matters

Cyber resiliency is the ability to anticipate, withstand, recover from, and adapt to cyberattacks. It’s not just about prevention—it’s about ensuring your business can bounce back fast, even after a breach.

81% of organizations are highly or very concerned about ransomware risk.
By 2031, ransomware is expected to strike a business, consumer, or device every 2 seconds—up from every 11 seconds in 2021.
The total cost of ransomware is projected to reach $265 billion by 2031.
In 2021, the largest ransomware payout was a staggering $40 million by an insurance company.

These numbers make one thing clear: prevention alone is not enough. You need a recovery strategy that’s fast, reliable, and proven.

As a Zerto-certified partner, Bridgehead IT delivers enterprise-grade resiliency solutions that go beyond detection. We help organizations implement real-time recovery strategies that minimize downtime and protect critical operations.

Zerto + Bridgehead IT: A Strategic Advantage

While many organizations rely on Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) tools, these only monitor individual devices. Zerto, deployed and optimized by Bridgehead, operates at the infrastructure level, offering a broader, deeper layer of protection.

Feature	EDR	Zerto (with Bridgehead)
Focus	Endpoint devices	Servers and infrastructure
Detection	Behavioral analysis	Real-time VM change monitoring
Response	Quarantine device	Instant rollback to clean snapshot
Recovery	Manual, often slow	Automated, near-instant

Bridgehead IT’s expertise ensures Zerto is fully integrated into your IT environment, maximizing its capabilities and aligning it with your business continuity goals.

Real-Time Ransomware Detection and Recovery

Zerto, implemented by Bridgehead IT, continuously monitors virtual machines for abnormal activity—like rapid file encryption. When a threat is detected, Bridgehead’s solution enables you to:

Isolate the threat
Preserve a clean snapshot
Restore operations within minutes

This means even if ransomware bypasses your EDR or firewall, Bridgehead IT and Zerto provide a second line of defense—one that can save your business from costly downtime.

Case Study: TenCate’s Transformation

A multinational textile company based in the Netherlands, TenCate, experienced two ransomware attacks:

Before Zerto: 10 hours of data loss, 2 weeks of disruption
After Zerto (with Bridgehead): 10 seconds of data loss, full recovery in under 10 minutes

This dramatic improvement showcases the power of Zerto’s continuous data protection (CDP) and Bridgehead’s implementation expertise.
