As cyberattacks become more frequent and sophisticated, the ability to recover from them is becoming increasingly important. Restoring data and systems to their pre-attack state is critical for minimizing downtime, data loss, and financial losses resulting from an attack.
Ransomware attacks can be difficult and time-consuming to recover from. Their unique challenges include the fact that they often target backups, making it difficult to restore data; they may encrypt data in a way that makes it difficult to decrypt; and they can result in significant downtime, disrupting business operations.
Recovering from a ransomware attack requires a comprehensive plan that includes regular backups of data, encrypted backups that are stored offline, a process for identifying and isolating infected systems, and a process for restoring data from backups.
