Abstract
Cyber and ransomware attacks continue to plague organizations around the world and the size of the victim organizations is no longer a predictor of attacks (i.e., individuals, small business, non-profits, Fortune 500 enterprises, and governments are being hit). Surviving a ransomware attack is often dependent on the entity’s cyber resiliency and ability to quickly recover critical data in a timely manner.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) introduced the concept of cyber recovery in NIST SP 800-209 as something distinct from more traditional data protection mechanisms like backups. This session explores key aspects of cyber recovery solutions and outlines scenarios where they can be most effective.
