New data on how organizations are able to respond to ransomware attacks also shows that paying a ransom is highly likely, despite having a policy of “Do Not Pay.”
Research data from security vendor Cohesity says organizations are overconfident in their ability to recover from a ransomware attack.
According to the data:
- 0% of organizations can recover within 24 hours
- 7% need 1-3 days
- 35% need 4-6 days
- 34% need 1-2 weeks
- 24% need over 3 weeks
And even if you do have an outstanding recovery plan, when’s the last time you tested it? According to Cohesity’s data, 46% of organizations haven’t tested their recovery plan in the last 12 months.
And what about paying ransoms? 94% of organizations said they’d consider paying a ransom, despite 84% of organizations having a “do not pay” policy in place.
This data suggests that organizations will pay a price monetarily and operationally if they are hit by a ransomware attack. The far less costly path is minimizing the possibility of ransomware attack, which includes vulnerability management, a layered set of security controls and security awareness training to make your users part of the answer.
