If there is one thing that keeps most IT practitioners up at night, it is the threat of ransomware. Ransomware and other cybercrimes are an increasing concern among enterprises — a recent report from Cybersecurity Ventures expects global cybercrime costs will grow by 15 percent annually over the next five years, reaching more than $10 trillion by 2025.
Ransomware attacks are inevitable. CIOs and CISOs should focus not just on preventing them but also on swiftly responding when attacks occur. Assuring robust data security and ransomware protection is the top priority, but equal focus needs to be placed on how you respond when an attack occurs to minimize its impact and maintain business continuity. So many questions often come to mind when trying to think through this critical challenge:
- How can valuable data be protected while still keeping operations simple?
- How can data be recovered in case of a cyberattack while minimizing disruptions to the business?
- Who is responsible for maintaining data sovereignty and compliance requirements?
- How do you obtain, develop, and constantly refine the skills and resources (both human and technical) needed to tackle these daunting questions without incurring exorbitant recurring costs?
With so many questions to consider and no one-size-fits-all solutions, ransomware response and recovery can be complicated — but it doesn’t have to be.
