There are many solutions that should be put into place to minimize the risk of a ransomware attack. The problem is that the defender needs to be right on track to keep the ransomware out, while the attacker only needs to find one flaw to get in. Being able to recover your environment and data is key!
Recoverability involves ensuring the organization can recover quickly, safely, and effectively without impacts from a ransomware or cybersecurity attack. The list includes local replication for fast recovery of mission critical servers to the state before the attack, keeping multiple copies of your data both locally and remote, and more.
Keeping your data secure during movement and at rest is important, along with optimizing security of the data for long term retention to tape or in the cloud. Encryption and encryption management should be a part of every step. Air-gapped and immutable backups ensure protection from ransomware and cybersecurity attacks. For many, the steps are all a part of also ensuring to meet regulatory and compliance requirements for protecting an organization’s data.
