It ’ s not a matter of if an organisation will be targeted by cybercriminals , but when . use network , journal and IOPS statistics to determine the precise moment the ransomware became active and recover to within seconds before it . Businesses should also ensure their technology can enable them to quickly perform a failover test to see if they have the right point in time . If not , they can easily failover again to a different point with minimal effort and recovery time .
In pre-pandemic circumstances , the ability of organisations to cope with ransomware attacks was already under severe scrutiny , but the onset of COVID-19 has added significantly to the risk every sector faces and no organisation , public or private , is off limits to those carrying out attacks . The impact of an incident now is amplified by the general pressure organisations face in dealing with the consequences of lockdown and economic downturn .
Although most will not be able to avoid being targeted by a ransomware attack , developing a more effective recovery strategy can have a transformational effect on the ability of victims to ignore demands for payment and quickly return to business as usual . u www . intelligentciso . com | Issue 30
