Ransomware Resiliency: The Risks Associated with an Attack and the Reward of Recovery Planning
7 PagesThis Veritas whitepaper outlines ransomware risks and recovery strategies. It details the five stages of attack—entry, delivery, backup deletion, encryption, and ransom demand—highlighting how modern threats exploit user error, system vulnerabilities, and weak backup practices. It recommends a layered defense with tested backup strategies like CDP and replication, and recovery metrics like RPO and RTO. Veritas NetBackup supports immutable backups, anomaly detection, hardened infrastructure, and secure restore capabilities. A tested disaster recovery plan is vital to maintain continuity and reduce the impact of ransomware.
