Why ransomware attackers target your backups? If they can encrypt or delete your backups, they eliminate your recovery option, increasing the chance you'll pay the ransom. Protect your backup infrastructure! #Ransomware #BackupInfrastructure #DataSecurity #Cybersecurity
Compromise your backup infrastructure, compromise EVERYTHING. Why? All your data, from 100 production apps, sits in one place. Ransomware attacks can exfiltrate data, increasing the chance you'll pay. #DataBackup #Ransomware #CyberSecurity #DataProtection
Backup systems are under attack 96% of the time! If you don't have a method to block threat actors, you're handing over the keys. Check out the Backup Wrap-Up podcast! #BackupSystems #Cybersecurity #Ransomware #DataProtection
96% of ransomware attacks now target backup repositories. Are your backups really safe? This trend demands a new level of disaster recovery planning. #Ransomware #DataBackup #CyberSecurity #DisasterRecovery
96% of ransomware attacks target backup systems. Only 25% of environments have policies to prevent malicious backup access. Protect your data! #Ransomware #DataBackup #Cybersecurity #DataProtection
Thinking ransomware won't hit you? Think again. Attacks are skyrocketing daily. The question isn't IF you'll be targeted, but WHEN. Prepare now, not later. #Ransomware #Cybersecurity #DataProtection #CyberAttack
Ransomware attacks on backups have reached epidemic levels, with 96% of attacks now targeting backup infrastructure. In this episode of The Backup Wrap-up, Curtis Preston and Prasanna Malaiyandi break down the alarming statistics and explain why cybercriminals have made your recovery systems their primary target. The math is simple: if…
Ransomware attacks on backups now target 96% of organizations—and only 25% feel ready. Learn why attackers go after your recovery systems and how to fight back. If you think ransomware is just about encrypting your production data, you're missing the bigger picture. The bad guys figured out something a long…
Feeling like a failure? Don't. Honestly assess where you're at, even if you caused it. Address the problem head-on. You can't get anywhere until you do. #Honesty #Assessment #Failure #Overcome #Success
Track progress, report reality. Ensure everyone's aligned on goals. Highlight gaps and let leadership decide next steps. It's about clarity, not responsibility. #Measurement #Reporting #Leadership #BusinessStrategy
Data recovery reality: 80% of the time is spent restoring data, only 20% setting up. But ransomware flips that ratio, demanding pristine environment recovery. #DataRecovery #RTO #Ransomware #CloudBackup
A recovery group is a collection of components—database server, storage, Active Directory—needed to fully restore your application. Get it back up and running seamlessly after any disruption. #RecoveryGroup #DataBackup #ApplicationRestore #ITSolutions
Flipping tapes was driving me crazy, and I felt like a failure when I couldn't fix it. Don't feel that way. It's okay to ask for help when you're overwhelmed. #WorkLife #Burnout #MentalHealth #AskForHelp
Deduplication throws away data to save space, but this creates a restore problem. Reassembling files requires random reads across the entire system, which slows things way down. #DataDeduplication #DataRestore #DataBackup #DataManagement
Achieving optimal Recovery Time Objectives (RTO) takes time and investment. Start with current infrastructure, then justify the need for shorter RTOs. Is every minute worth millions? #RTO #BusinessContinuity #DisasterRecovery #TechStrategy
Kaseya's report shows a stark contrast: over 60% think they can recover data in a day, but only 35% actually can. Is your backup plan ready for the truth? Check out Backup Wrap-Up podcast. #DataRecovery #BackupStrategy #ITSecurity #Kaseya #DataBackup
Meeting RTO isn't enough. Application fully up, running, and user-accessible—that's the real recovery. Hardware, ransomware prep—restore is only one piece. What matters is can the user use the app? #RecoveryTime #DataRecovery #RTO #Ransomware #BackupStrategy
Doing restore tests? Ensure they align with your Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Representative restores are crucial, not necessarily the entire environment. Test entire servers, environments, or recovery groups. #RestoreTests #RTO #Backup #Recovery #DataRecovery
Is your Recovery Time Objective (RTO) set in stone? Think again. Ransomware attack? Data center wiped out? Your RTO needs to adapt to the situation. Don't make app admins unhappy! #RTO #DataRecovery #Ransomware #Backup #DisasterRecovery
What's your Recovery Time Objective? It's your goal for disaster recovery—recovering data, reconfiguring networks. RTO varies by disaster, from file recovery to a whole data center. #RecoveryTimeObjective #RTO #DisasterRecovery #DataRecovery
Keeping a recovery mindset is key. Regular DR drills help catch environment changes sooner. Don't wait for yearly testing! #RecoveryMindset #DRDrills #Backup #Podcast
Figuring out the scope of a ransomware attack is key. Approvals, RTO... but also: do you need ALL your data to restore operations? Maybe a subset gets you running faster. Prioritize! #Ransomware #DataRecovery #RTO #Cybersecurity
Most RTOs miss the mark because backup/disaster recovery can't keep up. Old systems took a WEEK for full backups. How can you meet a 4-hour RTO like that? #RTO #Backup #DisasterRecovery #ITSolutions
How do backup strategies influence recovery? They present tech options aligned with business needs, balancing cost and speed. Testing is key—objectives mean nothing without it. #RTO #Backups #DataRecovery #TechStrategy
