- Elastio introduces a new cybersecurity playbook for clean recovery from ransomware attacks with minimal downtime and data loss.
Ransomware attacks have become increasingly prevalent, causing significant financial and operational damage to businesses. In response to this threat, Elastio has developed a comprehensive cybersecurity playbook to facilitate quick and clean recovery from ransomware attacks. The playbook emphasizes the importance of RTO and RPO metrics, guiding businesses on setting recovery objectives that align with their operational needs and regulatory requirements. By focusing on asset recognition, establishing R-RPO objectives, assessing data integrity, defending continuously, and yielding improvements, businesses can enhance their readiness to combat ransomware attacks.
Ransomware attacks can have devastating consequences, as exemplified by the bankruptcy declaration of Travelex and the closure of 60% of small businesses following cyber attacks. Despite investing in preventive measures, companies remain vulnerable to sophisticated threat actors, highlighting the need for robust post-attack solutions. By prioritizing RTO and RPO metrics specific to ransomware recovery, businesses can better prepare for and mitigate the impact of ransomware incidents. Through the implementation of the Ransomware READY playbook, companies can enhance their resilience against cyber threats and ensure quick and effective recovery from ransomware attacks.
