About this webinar:
Productivity, finances, and reputation all suffer in the absence of modern backup and business continuity solutions, leaving many to conclude there is no option but to simply pay the demands. However, there is no guarantee the transaction will entirely restore data or that an attack won’t happen again. It also serves to fund and incentivise cyber criminals. Paying ransoms is not a valid cyber security strategy.
Even investing in cyber insurance cannot fully protect organisations and may even make you a more appealing target. Criminal organisations often have the resources to research policies, setting ransom demands accordingly to receive the maximum pay-out possible. If cybercriminals discover you are insured, or even what your maximum cover is, a large payday is a more likely outcome.
With this in mind, secure disaster recovery and business continuity plans are essential. The pandemic demonstrated the role of IT in keeping enterprises running, but are budgets meeting disaster recovery needs? Do organisations have resilient plans in place to remediate attacks and other critical infrastructure failures?
This webinar, featuring dedicated research from Computing, will uncover the steps being taken to remedy the damage ransomware attacks can inflict. It will explore attitudes to paying ransoms, the lessons learned from incidents, and IT leader confidence in their backup and recovery solutions.
