The success of cyber attacks in Australia could make an "Assume-breach" approach to cyber security inevitable and cause IT teams to shift their focus to protecting data backups at all costs.

Rubrik's technology leader for Australia and New Zealand, Dale Heath, has said many local organizations still have an operational resilience mindset and are relying on systems not designed for cyber resilience when ransomware attackers breach perimeter defenses.

While in the past organizations had focused on building the defenses required to keep cybercriminals out, the best hope of safeguarding data in the current risk-prone environment was to adopt zero-trust principles to defend data.

Rapid data recovery could save organizations millions.

Data shows median dwell times of ransomware attackers between breach and detection have plummeted in recent years, with some estimates as low as five days during the first half of 2023.
