Cyber recovery
Cyber recovery following a ransomware attack needs to be treated similarly to disaster recovery with a fully defined, in-house recovery plan, fully documented, where uncompromised data can be restored confidently, experts advise.
“When enterprises are hit by ransomware, one of the first and most pressing challenges is assessing the full scope of the attack — identifying which data has been compromised, which systems are affected, and whether existing backups can be trusted,” Jim McGann, CMO at Index Engines, explains. “Even when backups are available, verifying their integrity is a major hurdle, as they may contain corrupted or altered files that could reintroduce the threat during recovery.”
“Enterprises now need in-house recovery plans that include forensic-level data validation of data, not just restoration,” McGann advises.
