Is Backup The Answer To Ransomeware

The ever-looming threat of ransomware is forcing IT professionals to strengthen their data resiliency strategies. Over the past five years, they’ve invested in backup and recovery infrastructure, but it hasn’t helped much. While organizations may eventually be able to recover from an attack, according to a recent Verge.IO study, most organizations:

  • Can’t quickly test readily available patches that may have prevented an attack.
  • Take days to realize they are under attack, usually finding out by affected users.
  • Take weeks to recover because the backups have encrypted data on them.
  • Are never quite sure if they were able to rid themselves of the malware completely.
