In the past, disaster recovery and backup have always been considered a cost center, and most of the time, data protection solutions were chosen based solely on price. No one thought about the risk of data loss or business continuity.
Today, this is no longer true; ransomware, and cyber-attacks, ... are no longer something that will never happen; in today's life, it is a reality and many organizations are affected by these threats every day.
That's why we think it's important to share with you some statistics about the impact of data loss and recovery. It's incredible!
It is why we encourage you to write a plan to avoid such kind of situation.

According to the National Cybersecurity Alliance, 60 percent of small businesses that experience significant data loss are forced to close within six months of the disaster. An incredible 72 percent fall by the wayside within two years.

This stat shows that not only small businesses should realize the importance of data disaster recovery. The majority of companies without a plan in place can’t survive for more than a year after the disaster.

Paying the fee demanded doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be provided with the working decryption key, nor that you will be able to recover all data. Still, disaster recovery facts from 2019 show that 98% of the victims got a working decryption key and that 97% of data was successfully decrypted.
Data Management Plans (DMPs) are the key element to solve this. A DMP describes the data management life cycle for all data collected, processed, and/or generated. This enforces to get all of these data protected on time; and ready to be recovered anytime.
