“Ransomware attacks are really not a one-off situation. We’re at a point now where we just have to accept that they are going to happen.”
In this paper, Ryan Cote, former U.S. DOT CIO, calls attention to the urgent need to reevaluate current defensive strategies against ransomware, highlighting the inefficiencies of outdated approaches and limitations of current cybersecurity tools and backup and recovery strategies.
The reality is the risk of becoming a victim of ransomware today could not be greater. Cote discusses the need to reevaluate current strategies and discusses Nubeva’s innovative, proven Ransomware Reversal solution. The simple and elegant solution securely captures encryption keys at the moment of a ransomware attack, allowing organizations to decrypt files without paying ransoms. This approach enables organizations to significantly reduce the risk of downtime and fill the gap between security and backup solutions.
Now an advisor to Nubeva, Cote stresses the importance of reinforcing cyber defenses with advanced, multifaceted strategies to maintain operational resilience and business continuity. The old approaches simply aren’t effective enough anymore. Data resiliency strategy cannot be dependent simply on backups or snapshots. Protect your data from ransomware attacks the only way it makes sense. Decryption.
