Most organizations believe backups and DR plans make them resilient, but ransomware actors routinely target and compromise backup systems so recovery often fails when it matters most. True resilience requires immutable, isolated backups, integrated security and recovery automation, and routine testing to ensure fast, reliable restoration under attack conditions. #Acronis #ActiveDirectory
Keypoints
- Backups often exist but are unreliable or unreachable during real ransomware incidents.
- Ransomware attacks unfold over days, with attackers escalating privileges and targeting backups before encryption.
- Backup systems are vulnerable when they share network access, credentials, or domain privileges with production.
- Traditional disaster recovery plans assume clean environments and frequently fail under adversarial conditions.
- Effective recovery needs immutability, isolation, strong access controls, automated workflows, and regular attack-based testing.
