https://bit.ly/43qxk7n - 🔒 According to the 2023 Data Protection Trends Report, 85% of organizations experienced at least one cyber attack in the past year, up from 76% in the prior year. Cybersecurity budgets are expected to grow by 5.6% in 2023. #Cybersecurity #DataProtection 💻 Surprisingly, 60% of organizations need significant overhauls between their backup and cyber teams. The data suggests a considerable disconnect between these teams, highlighting the need for more seamless collaboration. #Teamwork #Cybersecurity 🔍 Even though 87% of organizations have risk management programs, only 35% believe their program is working well. Common elements of these programs include clean backup copies and recurring verification that the backups are recoverable. #RiskManagement 💰 Last year, 77% of ransoms were paid by insurance, but getting coverage is becoming more challenging and expensive. As a result, more organizations are considering alternatives to relying on insurance for ransomware attacks. #CyberInsurance 😓 In 2022, 80% of victims paid the ransom, but a quarter of them still couldn't recover their data even after paying, underlining the harsh realities of dealing with cybercriminals. #Ransomware 💾 The data reveals that 75% of attacks affected backup repositories, demonstrating how ransomware is increasingly targeting backup data. This is a key concern for organizations that rely heavily on backups for recovery. #DataBackups ⏳ On average, it takes at least 3 weeks to recover from a cyber attack. This includes the time needed to identify infected servers and determine if backup versions aren't also affected. #CyberAttackRecovery 🔐 To protect their data, 82% of organizations use immutable clouds, 64% use immutable disks, and tape storage still plays a significant role in 2023. Immutability and air-gapping are critical for ensuring recoverable data. #DataProtection 🔬 Despite this, 56% of organizations run the risk of re-infection during restoration. This is primarily because they lack a system to ensure clean data during recovery. #DataRestoration ☁️ Regarding BC/DR strategy, 71% of organizations would recover to a cloud, and 81% would use a datacenter, reflecting the continued importance of hybrid IT infrastructures. #BCDRStrategy 💡 Finally, the lessons from this report include the need for immutable storage, staged restorations, and hybrid IT architectures. These are vital technologies in preparing for future cyber attacks.
