Why Rapid Recovery is Safer than Paying the Ransom
Every minute of downtime can mean thousands of dollars in lost business. When ransomware hits, paying the ransom can be tempting, but it isn't the quick fix organizations are hoping for. Instead, enterprises can confidently focus their efforts — and precious time — on recovery, without spending cycles deciding on whether to pay the cost of ransom.

Download the IDC white paper to find out why paying ransom isn’t the quick fix organizations hope for.

What’s included:
  • Independent IDC research
  • Analysis of paying the ransom vs. rapid recovery
  • Future outlook on data protection
