Description

Learning Ransomware Response & Recovery: Stopping Ransomware One Restore at a Time.

Build a resilient defense against ransomware and prepare your organization to recover quickly when an attack occurs.

Ransomware has become one of the most serious cybersecurity threats facing modern organizations. As attackers increasingly target backup and disaster recovery (DR) systems, preventing an attack is no longer enough. Organizations also need a proven strategy to detect incidents, limit their impact, investigate what happened, and restore operations without giving in to ransom demands.

In this practical guide, cybersecurity experts W. Curtis Preston and Dr. Mike Saylor provide a comprehensive framework for strengthening backup security and responding effectively to ransomware attacks. Combining industry best practices with real-world experience, the authors show how data protection and cybersecurity must work together to safeguard critical infrastructure.

Designed for both security professionals and backup administrators, the book offers clear explanations, practical guidance, and actionable strategies for protecting backup environments while preparing organizations for rapid recovery when incidents occur.
