This piece emphasizes that resilient recovery from cyberattacks—especially ransomware—requires verified, offline backups and a regularly tested disaster recovery plan aligned to clear RTO/RPO goals, the 3-2-1 rule, and vigilant monitoring of backup integrity and size anomalies; it also notes that modern ransomware/RaaS often disables or deletes backups before encryption, making post-incident root cause analysis essential to close access gaps and ensure reliable restoration.
