But it also requires software to orchestrate data movement, backup and restore technology to ensure a current copy of data is available, and the ability to recover systems and data rapidly. This type of backup and DR technology offers RPOs measured in hours. See the Best Backup Solutions for Ransomware Protection.

With vulnerabilities rooted in unsuspecting users, the task of preventing these attacks means both staff training and a robust email and network security system that includes a strong backup program so you have a recent copy of your data that you can roll back to.

An organization must: Prepare a good backup policy and procedure. A zero-trust architecture with continuous authorization might be the preferred option for some, but a traditional security framework can provide adequate security for many. Is the attack small enough that we do not need to file a cyberinsurance claim?
Government Towards a Zero Trust Architecture dictate U.S. Cyberinsurance coverage ramps up. There is also huge debate around cyberinsurance and whether it is fit for purpose. However, cyberinsurance can’t protect your business against the reputational and brand loss that results from a cyberattack.
Backup all critical data at least daily. Build out a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA), and adopt a “Zero Trust or Bust”. Cyberinsurance is not the answer! Build for Cyber resiliency – it offers the best chance for achieving mission and business goals in the face of increasing sophisticated cyber attacks.
The eight areas are: Application Control Patch Applications Configure Microsoft Office Macro Settings User Application Hardening Restrict Administrative Privileges Patch Operating Systems Multi Factor Authentication Daily Backups Each area comes with guidance to improve maturity of the area.
