In today's increasingly complex digital landscape, the threat of cyberattacks looms large. The 2024 Cyber Recovery Readiness Report from Commvault reveals some startling facts: 83% of organizations have experienced a significant breach, and over half of them lack confidence in their ability to recover systems and data swiftly.
Cyber resilience is no longer a luxury but a necessity. As businesses continue to face evolving cyber threats like ransomware, it's clear that the need for effective recovery plans is paramount. In fact, 55% of organizations reported they wouldn't be fully ready to recover their data following a major cyber incident. This statistic underscores a critical reality: security measures alone are not enough. Recovery must be integrated into the overall strategy to ensure business continuity.
One of the key lessons highlighted in the report is the importance of creating a robust cyber recovery strategy that goes beyond merely detecting and responding to incidents. While tools like Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) and Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) are valuable for identifying threats, they only address part of the problem. The real challenge is being able to rapidly recover and resume operations when an attack happens. In fact, early warning tools alone won't prevent damage if your systems lack resilience.
A cyber recovery plan should include components like:
- Early warning security tools that identify and mitigate threats proactively.
- Isolated environments for recovery that ensure minimal downtime during cyber incidents.
- Immutable backups that are safely stored and protected from tampering.
- Tested runbooks with clear processes for incident response.
These practices help businesses build the resilience needed to ensure they can continue operations even when faced with advanced threats. But the critical shift is in how we think about recovery. Moving from a model of "Detect and Respond" to one of "Isolation and Containment" offers a far stronger defense against today's sophisticated attacks.
This is where solutions like AppGuard come into play. AppGuard provides endpoint protection that isolates malicious threats in real-time, preventing attacks from spreading and minimizing damage to your systems. By using "Isolation and Containment," AppGuard ensures that even in the event of an attack, your business can maintain control and quickly recover without the need for extensive downtime or data loss.
As organizations look to fortify their cyber recovery readiness, it’s clear that relying on traditional methods that simply detect and respond to threats is no longer sufficient. A proactive, defensive approach—anchored by technologies like AppGuard—can make all the difference in ensuring business continuity and resilience.
