If you’ve read recent headlines, odds are you’ve seen one of the many reports on how another major company has fallen victim to a data breach. Cyber criminals look for the fastest way to gain leverage and target not just primary data, but IT systems used to enable data recovery. IT and security teams have taken notice, and are operating under a new “assume-breach” mentality. The number of ransomware attacks and reports from the trenches have underscored the difficulty IT teams face in responding to attacks and recovering data.
- To be attack ready, organizations need to ensure that both backup data and the recovery platform are monitored, protected, and available.
- IT and security teams should establish or review their ransomware recovery playbooks.
- Organizations should ensure that workflows exist to confidently recover data at scale.
Because backup data represents a time lapsed view of all corporate data, it can play a critical role in helping security and IT teams better detect, respond, and recover from incidents.
Data recovery after a breach or ransomware event is different from traditional disaster recovery scenarios as data integrity is no longer assumed or known. The ability to simply recover backup data is not enough.
