1. Ransomware Protection Design and Plan

Your data must be available for your organization to be successful. When it is unavailable, or worse encrypted by ransomware, brings business processes to a halt. You must maintain data access with a strategic recovery solution to protect your organization’s reputation, provide enhanced customer experience, and help provide business continuity. Ultimately, it all boils down to can you recover confidently?

Give yourself the empowerment to recover intelligently through holistic risk-mitigation and prevention strategies to assist you to become more than ready for any eventuality. The result is you can quickly recover from events — like ransomware — or anything else that could threaten your operations, systems, users, or customers.

Get a Ransomware Design and Plan that will help you understand potential threats and risks impacting your ability to “Be Ready.” By understanding the current state of your recovery solution, help identify gaps in your solution and propose a path forward so that you are ready in the event of a ransomware attack or other disaster.

Examine and review the recovery capabilities of your solution relative to your business requirements and help align technical capabilities with your recovery objectives.

Ransomware Design and Plan should deliver:

• Readiness scorecard
• Key findings
• Prioritized action plan
• Readiness architectural design and roadmap recommendations

2. Ransomware Protection Review

External threats are continually evolving. Protecting against them requires diligence and constant attention to detail. The Review phase should validate your recovery solution and can verify previous recommendations have been implemented and that no adverse changes have occurred. This review process includes an objective scoring of your Readiness so that you can quantify your risk exposure and take corrective action as needed.

Conduct a Ransomware Protection workshop and review the environment, comparing it against the initial scorecard and plan. The output will be:

• Updated Readiness scorecard
• Key findings
• Prioritized recommendations
