Many companies have struggled to recover from digital attacks because they have relied on traditional on-premise file sharing infrastructures with system failovers using duplicate infrastructures for disaster recovery.

Many companies have forked out big money to attackers simply because they don't want to lose productive time, but cloud file storage systems' level of control enables the CIO to show the C-level team that the company can plan for and practice attack scenarios; the IT team can set more predictable and faster Recovery Time Objectives and adapt company recovery plans as new ransomware exploits emerge over time.

Companies with cloud file storage platforms have been surprised at the IT team's ability to quickly isolate affected files and restore them so daily operations aren't disrupted.

In contrast, next-generation cloud-based file storage systems can "Roll back" business-critical files to the exact time of a ransomware incident.

Although ransomware threats have evolved over the years, cloud file storage providers have made such major innovations that enable companies to carry out simpler BC planning, quickly assess the damage and restore files in the event of an attack and so achieve Recovery Point Objectives in minutes, rather than days and weeks.

Cloud-based file storage products mean a clearer response to and predictable recovery times from ransomware attacks.
