Veeam's Anomaly Detection For Ransomware
Veeam News, Wednesday, May 3,2023
Veeam's Data Protection Trend report surveyed over 4,000 anonymous companies and found that 85% of organizations have experienced some form of ransomware in the past year.
Given that a ransomware attack has a far greater chance of happening than a natural disaster, power outage or other disaster recovery (DR) event, it's critical that IT organizations plan for quick recovery in the event of ransomware as discussed previously.
A crucial component for successful and quick recoveries is to identify the last known good backup that occurred. Without this, organizations can spend countless hours if not days attempting to restore data that is already corrupted. In fact, this report also discovered that companies took between one and two weeks to recover their data on average. This is much more time than it would take to recover from other DR events since much of the time is spent identifying and scanning for the last known clean backup.
