Mike Tyson famously said, 'Everybody has a plan till they get punched in the face.' In cybersecurity, traditional strategies focus on preventing attacks—essentially planning for the punch. But what happens when the punch lands? It’s not just about the breach itself; it’s about how an organization responds. True resilience is measured by how swiftly and effectively you rebound. Strengthening infrastructure, refining processes, and enhancing talent are crucial steps in not just surviving but thriving after an incident.

Welcome to the Data Security Decoded podcast, brought to you by Rubrik Zero Labs. In each installment, we discuss cybersecurity with thought leaders and industry experts, and get their take on trends, themes, and where they see the sector going next. This is a must-listen for security and IT leaders looking to better understand trends shaping data security and how they can achieve cyber resilience.

Backup, backup, backup. That’s the message from Heather Hughes from Aon Cyber Solutions, who emphasizes the crucial role of robust backups in cybersecurity. Effective backups can eliminate the need for a decryptor and ensure business continuity, even when faced with ransomware. Heather highlights that, with strong backups, companies can avoid paying ransoms and focus on assessing potential data exfiltration.
