Countering complex attacks with cyber recovery

Cyber ​​recovery goes far beyond operational recovery and disaster recovery. It allows systems, applications and data to be restored even after a complex cyber attack. Nowadays, most cyber attacks begin without the use of malware, but with the help of compromised access data. As a result, despite numerous security measures, cyber criminals can easily gain access to systems in order to then, for example, spread ransomware, encrypt data, exfiltrate sensitive data or even block IT assets. Cyber ​​resilience with reliable and sustainable recovery options after an attack is crucial in order to quickly recover from its effects...
