Are You Confident that You Could Recover Your Critical Data in the Event of a Ransomware Attack?
The Growing Cyber Threat Landscape
Every 39 seconds, somewhere in the world, bad actors launch a cyberattack (source). With over 2,200 attacks occurring daily, organizations can no longer view cyber recovery as optional—it has become business-critical. Modern cyber resilience transcends traditional prevention methods, encompassing a comprehensive strategy of immutable storage, isolation protocols, advanced detection systems, email security, robust firewalls, endpoint protection, network segmentation, and data protection measures.
The True Cost of Ransomware
The financial implications of ransomware attacks extend far beyond the initial ransom demand. Recovery costs typically surge to ten times the ransom amount, creating a devastating financial burden. More alarmingly, 94% of ransomware attacks specifically target backup systems, with 57% successfully compromising these critical safety nets. When backups are compromised, organizations often face double the recovery costs.
Recent high-profile incidents underscore these challenges:
Why “Good Enough” Cyber Resilience Is Not Enough
Traditional preventative tools struggle to keep pace with evolving ransomware variants, while their reliance on basic indicators and attributes proves insufficient for detection. The frequent occurrence of false positives and negatives has eroded trust in these systems, and their inability to identify specific variant indicators and behavioral patterns leaves security teams flying blind. Without deep forensic analysis capabilities, organizations cannot effectively determine the root cause or full extent of an attack, leaving data protection teams exposed to repeated compromises.
The recovery process itself presents additional challenges that current solutions fail to address. Alerts lack the detailed insights needed for precise, curated recoveries, while the common practice of restoring from copy data often results in the loss of newer versions and, worse still, risks reintroducing ransomware into clean systems. This problem is compounded by the absence of a unified data integrity strategy across storage and copy data environments, with organizations overly dependent on data protection vendors for recovery operations. This fragmented approach to data integrity leaves critical gaps in protection and recovery capabilities, undermining the effectiveness of cyber resilience efforts.
Consequently, IT and security teams must shift from a preventative to a comprehensive cyber resilience strategy, accepting that breaches are increasingly inevitable. This approach prioritizes rapid threat detection, sophisticated incident response protocols, and resilient restoration capabilities that can quickly identify, isolate, and neutralize advanced persistent threats.
A comprehensive cyber resilience strategy must incorporate:
Absent these core requirements, organizations carry significant risks as it relates to their ability to recover from an attack. Unfortunately, such a scenario is commonplace as organizations typically require 24 days to restore operations after an attack—an eternity in today’s fast-paced business environment. While data protection and recovery capabilities are essential, they often lack comprehensive corruption detection and cover insufficient data resources. With downtime costs averaging ten times the ransom amount, organizations need a more robust approach to data integrity validation.
Most organizations pay the ransom when attacked, even when a trusted recovery process is not in place: according to a new report from Hiscox, only 7% of organizations recovered their data in full, while 1 in 10 of the businesses that paid the ransom still had their data leaked.
