How Backup Storage Targets Impact Recovery Time, Level of Protection, and Cost
Gartner® Ransomware Recovery Requires a Layered Recovery Response
Are you responsible for data protection and recovery? Don’t miss these tips for building a layered response.
According to the Gartner® report, “A ransomware attack is unlike any other cyber incident. Meeting RTO is not possible unless the integrity of backup datasets and the underlying infrastructure can be trusted. If the data integrity of the backup is in question, recovery to an isolated recovery environment may be required to validate backup integrity to confidently restore into a production environment.”
The report offers a look at types of backup storage targets and their impacts on recovery time, protection, and cost.
“Many organizations have analyzed the threat that ransomware poses and found that the recovery time from traditional backup methods alone simply will not suffice for critical workloads.”
Review the four critical elements of successfully recovering from ransomware:
- Identification of critical datasets
- Protect directory services
- Establish backup target hierarchy to optimize recovery
- Align critical datasets to fast storage media
