Ransomware attacks have emerged as a significant threat to organizations of various sizes and sectors, spanning regions worldwide, with the potential to cause severe financial and reputational harm. In the event of a ransomware attack, enterprises could lose control over valuable data assets, which can result in severe disruption of business operations. Usually, attackers target crucial data or information, holding it hostage until a ransom is paid.

Despite the deployment of multiple security controls and authentication mechanisms, organizations continue to face security breaches from various entry points or social engineering attempts by attackers. The success of a ransomware attack is determined by its ability to paralyze an organization's operations by denying them access to their data. However, in many organizations, little is done to ensure data availability in the event of such an attack.
