Expert says ransomware attacks will happen, and your company has to be prepared long before the attack hits.
TechRepublic's Karen Roby spoke to Jim McGann, VP of Index Engines, about ransomware and how to recover from an attack.
It's about the data and it's about checking the integrity of the data.
Make sure your data has integrity and you can recover from an attack.
My biggest advice is to have a data resiliency plan, inspect your data, make sure it has integrity, make sure that you can recover, and don't just rely on your backups.
Because if you go to your backups and they're corrupted or the data inside is corrupted, that is the last time you want to figure that out when you're in a crisis mode.
