It reports that 74% of organizations still pay ransoms, while 30% had backups successfully attacked and deleted. Even organizations with intact backups experienced serious disruption: 40% were down for multiple days and another 40% for more than a week. Sixty-six percent of ransomware victims experienced data exfiltration, with half involving sensitive or valuable data. Common weaknesses include missing air gaps, encryption, and immutability. The infographic identifies three resilience requirements: absolute data survival through modern backups, guaranteed integrity so restored data can be trusted, and rapid recovery capable of bringing operations back online quickly
