The ROI of ransomware recovery: Webinar key takeaways

Did you know that there’s a concerning gap when it comes to organizations’ disaster recovery plans for SaaS platforms?

Speaking on our recent webinar, Forrester senior analyst Brent Ellis said: “[Out of 2000 enterprise software decision makers], 87% said they’re either currently using a SaaS application, or they plan to in the next 12 months. But [in a separate survey when I asked disaster recovery professionals] if SaaS platforms are within the scope of their organization’s disaster recovery planning, only 36% had a wholehearted yes. And when I asked does your organization currently backup your SaaS hosted data? 14% said no. And if you’re talking about disaster recovery planning and 14% don’t do backup of that data, that leaves a big question mark about whether you’re actually able to recover from a particular disaster to that platform.”

These numbers clearly show that only a small percentage of organizations is fully prepared for the scenario of a cyberattack and can ensure business continuity if their SaaS platforms are affected.

To hear more about these findings, watch our on-demand webinar, The ROI of ransomware recovery.
