IDC: You Think Ransomware is Your Only Problem? Think Again.

Organizational leaders think they are ready for a ransomware attack, but the research from this study illustrates that most are not. This whitepaper explains more.

Cybercrime — and especially ransomware — has become the most feared IT-related event — and is the greatest threat to data resilience. Because cybercrime and data loss are such important topics, Druva engaged IDC to conduct independent research into ransomware preparedness, challenges, and threats. Druva wanted to learn how the approaches to ransomware are changing and whether common recovery efforts are effective. This research had a very interesting conclusion: While organizational leaders believe they are fully prepared and have a high regard for their data protection tools and processes, the actual outcomes paint a very different picture. A majority of organizations suffered significant consequences from ransomware attacks including long recoveries and unrecoverable data despite paying a ransom. This whitepaper explains why commonly used do-it-yourself (DIY) approaches to cyber preparedness are insufficient and how to tackle modern cyber attacks.
