According to CTERA’s CEO and co-founder Liran Eshel:
“The attack shows how sophisticated ransomware has become, forcing even unaffected organizations rethink strategies for countering ransomware. Organizations need to combat ransomware by minimizing attack exposures and enabling the rapid recovery attacked data and files. The onus is on organizations to stop the ransomware epidemic by building the right safeguards that eliminate enterprise vulnerabilities. Until that day comes, organizations need to be ready to catch and recover from some serious ransomware crypto-lock events. With the right file sync and backup procedures, even attacked organizations can minimize their recovery points to as little as five minutes while making a full recovery of encrypted data.”
