Ransomware Readiness: Backup and Recovery in the Cloud
summary
Cloud readiness hinges on specifics: reported SOFOS 2024 numbers show 59% of orgs hit and 94% report backups targeted, with 32% suffering data theft and an average initial $2M average ransom demand. Architecture uses immutable air-gapped vaults protected by service KMS keys and cross-account RAM sharing; automated restores run in a clean-room account. Follow the 3-2-1-1-0 backup rule, test restores regularly (40% of attempts fail; 77% under-test), and expect downtime costs ~ $5,600 per minute.
