COMPANIES SCRAMBLE TO INTEGRATE IMMEDIATE RECOVERY INTO RANSOMWARE PLANS



More than one-third of companies still do not have a well-rounded, holistic
ransomware strategy in place, according to Zerto.




IMMEDIATE RECOVERY CRUCIAL FOR BUSINESSES’ SURVIVAL

The survey also found that companies are reevaluating their data protection and
cyber resilience strategies to align more closely with the threats they are
facing.

The report shows that 35.4% of companies are not prioritizing recovery. This is
concerning as ransomware actors are becoming more capable of impounding data.
Businesses will suffer wide-ranging consequences if they cannot recover and get
back up and running immediately on their own behalf.

In all, just over half of the companies surveyed (56.6%) focus on both recovery
and prevention. This indicates that a holistic view is far from widespread
amongst those surveyed.

“It is natural for companies to start by building a robust prevention strategy
focused on thwarting attacks,” said Caroline Seymour, VP of product marketing at
Zerto. “However, as attacks become more sophisticated and capable of breaching
prevention measures, prioritizing recovery must be a key element of a modern,
multi-layered approach. It’s just as crucial as prevention, if not more, in the
current threat environment.”

The survey also found that 66.2% of companies are reevaluating their data
protection and cyber resilience strategies. This is a positive sign as it shows
that companies are taking the threat of ransomware seriously.


REEVALUATING DATA PROTECTION IN THE FACE OF RANSOMWARE

Still, the fact that companies are reevaluating strategies they have in place,
especially considering that nearly two thirds (63.1%) of those surveyed have
multiple data protection and ransomware detection tools at their disposal,
signals that prevention is not enough and that legacy data protection falls
short.

“It’s encouraging to see that organizations are reevaluating their ransomware
strategies. For companies that have not put a focus on recovery, this is a step
in the right direction toward a more holistic ransomware strategy,” continued
Seymour. “One solution that companies should consider is isolated cyber vaults
that can employ a secure architecture to protect data and thwart ransomware.
Organizations should not rely on protection alone. That is a risk that can’t be
alleviated by insurance and preventative measures and is not worth taking. “

In addition, the survey found that obtaining cyber insurance requires a holistic
approach. For those utilizing cyber insurance, the underwriters that evaluate
applicants require backup, disaster recovery, detection, and data vault
capabilities to approve policies. This shows that those who are in the business
of financially protecting against ransomware threats require policy holders to
protect their data in a comprehensive fashion.

The survey’s findings suggest that companies need to reevaluate their ransomware
strategies and adopt a more holistic approach that includes recovery, data
protection, and cyber insurance. By doing so, companies can better protect
themselves from the devastating financial and operational consequences of a
ransomware attack.
