Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) are on everyone’s mind. It bears repeating, one of the most fundamental ways to reduce recovery time from a ransomware or cybersecurity attack is being well prepared and ready to take actions quickly and effectively. This is one of the many variables firmly within a customer’s control and key to a faster and more efficient recovery process. A ransomware attack can be one of the most stressful events an organization and its employees will encounter.

Hard question: How do you recover from ransomware? Harder question: How can you prove you can recover? These two questions led our recent Winter Release event, where we discussed how to take the uncertainty out of ransomware recovery and prove that your recovery plan actually works. Read on to see how you can get peace of mind out of your ransomware recovery plan.

Ransomware is one of the most dangerous cyber attacks to businesses and consumers. This type of malware holds files and data hostage until a ransom is paid. Ransomware incidents can result in data loss, financial losses, and even ransomware payments. In order to protect your business from ransomware-based data breaches, it is important to understand ransomware statistics, ransomware trends, and the best practices for ransomware prevention.

Today, we’re thrilled to announce that Rubrik has been named a Leader in The Forrester Wave™: Data Resilience Solutions, Q4 2022. The report evaluated nine vendors based on 40 criteria, which were grouped into three categories: current offering, strategy, and market presence.

I recently read a technology forum post where a system administrator described symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder after their company was attacked by ransomware. The recent State of Data Security report from Rubrik Zero Labs even found that 96% of individuals suffered emotional or psychological impacts as a direct result of experiencing a cyberattack.

Rubrik allows customers to protect their workloads like VMs, Disks, and SQL instances running on Azure. We have customers who protect a large number of Azure subscriptions through our SaaS product. We offer features like File-Level Recovery to allow customers to make faster recoveries and Storage Tiering to save on storage costs associated with the backups. To support these features, we run compute in the customer’s environment to read the data from Azure Disk snapshots.

Malware is becoming more sophisticated, and it would be impossible to prevent and defend from every single cyber threat out there. As the digital dependence of enterprises grows in tandem with the enterprise’s growth, we at Rubrik are seeing some consistent trends that can be mapped to their exacerbating cyber risk. In today's competitive landscape, it is even more important to secure your data to defend against cyber attacks.

As the attack surface widens and cybercriminals get more sophisticated, organizations are struggling to prepare for and respond to ransomware and other cyber incidents. According to the inaugural State of Data Security report from Rubrik Zero Labs, a staggering 92% of global IT and security leaders are concerned they are unable to maintain business continuity following an attack.
