The Cyber Resilience Imperative: Building a Strong Defense Against Modern Threats

The Growing Problem with Ransomware

It’s 11 p.m. You’re wrapping up the day when your phone buzzes with a notification. It’s a message from your CEO: “We’ve been hit by ransomware. Operations are frozen. Call me ASAP.” You immediately try to spin up the backups. But they’re encrypted too.

Every hour brings mounting financial losses, customer frustration, and the looming threat of compliance violations. Worse yet, your team has no guarantee those backups—the last lifeline—can be restored.

This isn’t a far-fetched worst-case scenario. It’s the reality countless organizations face every day as ransomware grows more sophisticated, targeting backups directly and leaving businesses stuck in a nightmare.

Are you prepared for the moment when ransomware threatens not just your data, but your business continuity?

Why ransomware is a major issue:

• Increasing frequency: Ransomware attacks are more sophisticated than ever.
• High recovery costs: The average cost of recovering from an attack is $1.85 million (excluding potential ransoms).¹
• Downtime impact: Each hour of downtime costs tens of thousands of dollars—crippling businesses.
• Regulatory stakes: Data privacy and compliance laws demand airtight protection, raising the urgency of cyber resilience.

Where Conventional Backup Falls Short

Standard backup and recovery methods leave organizations vulnerable:

• Backup targeting: In 94% of ransomware cases, attackers attempt to compromise backups.²
• Immutable storage limitations: Existing solutions often sacrifice data efficiency or simplicity.
• Fragmented environments: On-premises and cloud storage gaps create vulnerabilities, increasing complexity for IT teams.

In today’s threat landscape, traditional solutions can no longer meet the challenge. While immutable storage solutions provide some protection, they often sacrifice data efficiency and management simplicity. Also, fragmented backup tools create complexity and gaps across on-premises and cloud environments—gaps that leave organizations exposed to potential threats.
