Ransomware continues to evolve, presenting a significant threat to organizations of all sizes. Cybercriminals have started using legitimate IT tools, exemplified by the misuse of Microsoftâs Quick Assist to deploy ransomware like Black Basta. The proliferation of Ransomware-as-a-Service lowers entry barriers, leading to an alarming forecast of a ransomware attack every 2 seconds by 2031. To mitigate impacts, robust business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) plans are essential, enabling organizations to recover swiftly after attacks. Additionally, enhancing the traditional 3-2-1 backup approach to 3-2-1-1-0âincluding immutable backupsâcan protect data integrity against attacks.
Ransomware has significantly evolved and now uses legitimate IT tools for infiltration, as demonstrated by Microsoftâs report on the misuse of its Quick Assist tool.
Innovations like Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) have made attacks more accessible and frequent, with projections estimating a new attack every 2 seconds by 2031.
A strong business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) strategy is crucial, serving as a critical line of defense that allows organizations to quickly recover from ransomware attacks.
The recommended 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy emphasizes maintaining an unchangeable backup version to ensure data integrity against ransomware attacks.
