Nearly 90 percent of respondents admit that not all mission-critical data is protected from cyberattacks.<\/h4>

Copenhagen, Denmark \u2013 April 19, 2022 \u2013<\/b> Granular and air-gapped backup are critical to data recovery, when, not if, a business falls victim to ransomware. Those are among the key takeaways from a new Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) study, titled \u201cThe Long Road Ahead to Ransomware Preparedness\u201d<\/a>, which surveyed information technology (IT) and cybersecurity professionals working within organizations across North America and Western Europe.<\/p>

According to the report\u2019s findings, while ransomware attacks aren\u2019t always made public, they are a common occurrence and represent both a significant and recurring source of business disruption. Among the more than 600 respondents, 79 percent experienced a ransomware attack within the last year, with 17 percent experiencing attacks weekly and 13 percent experiencing attacks daily. <\/p>

More than three-quarters (79 percent) of the survey\u2019s respondents said they categorize ransomware preparedness as being within the top five on their list of overall business priorities,<\/p>

\u201cOrganizations are building their own individual strategies and processes in response to a lack of industry reference architecture or a blueprint for ransomware protection,\u201d Christophe Bertrand, Practice Director at ESG. \u201cThe results of this report serve as a critical step in understanding the most important components of data recovery after a ransomware attack, and it is our hope that organizations can use this as guidance as they work towards preparedness.\u201d<\/p>

\u201cThe Long Road Ahead to Ransomware Preparedness\u201d includes responses from 620 IT and cybersecurity professionals tasked with protecting against ransomware attacks at midmarket and enterprise organizations in North America (the United States and Canada) and Western Europe (UK, France, and Germany). <\/p>

The study, sponsored by Keepit<\/a>, the world\u2019s only vendor-neutral and independent cloud dedicated to Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) data protection based on a blockchain-verified solution, sought to identify proactive and reactive strategies employed by organizations to guard against the ransomware threat, analyze ransomware mitigation best practices and identify how organizations are prioritizing and planning to mitigate the ransomware threat in the coming 12 to 18 months.<\/p>
