Be Prepared for Ransomware Attacks with Active Directory Disaster Recovery Planning
Devastating ransomware attacks on critical organizations and infrastructure like JBS and the Colonial Pipeline have escalated ransomware awareness to the highest levels. In fact, due to increasing geopolitical tensions, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a “Shields Up” message to every U.S. organization, including federal agencies, urging them to adopt a heightened posture when it comes to cybersecurity and protecting their most critical assets. In particular, CISA recommends that organizations assess their resilience by testing backup procedures to ensure that critical systems and data can be rapidly restored if your organization is impacted by ransomware or a destructive cyberattack.
