Ransomware attacks are on the rise, and the pay-out for a successful breach is growing as data becomes more and more valuable. The potential of falling victim to ransomware is escalating, and such an occurrence could end up costing billions in downtime and recovery.
The steps outlined by NIST are as follows: identify cybersecurity risks; protect data and systems from attack; detect suspicious activities and anomalies; respond to limit the negative impact; and recover data, systems and operations. Having the right systems and processes in place remains essential, but when all else fails, recovering from attacks is the last line of defence and can mitigate the widespread impact of breaches.
