In its “State of data security by Rubrik Zero Labs: The hard truths of data security” report, based on a poll of more than 1,600 IT and security leaders (including CISOs and CIOs), the company found just 16% of global organizations that paid a ransom and received a decryptor actually managed to recover all of their data. To make matters worse, almost three-quarters (72%) of organizations reported paying their ransomware demand. Backups seem to be a popular countermeasure to ransomware. Almost all (99%) of organizations reported having backup and recovery technology. However, 93% reported encountering “significant issues” with their solutions. Furthermore, nine out of ten reported malicious actors attempting to impact data backups during a cyberattack, and 73% were at least partially successful in doing so.
