and recovery tools for your critical data and systems can take all the power away from ransomware actors — if you are impacted by a ransomware attack, you don’t have to think through whether or not you need to pay to get your data back, you already have the ability to recover it from your encrypted, immutable and isolated backups. Every CISO and security practitioner should take the CRI’s pledge as an opportunity to reinforce the seriousness and impact of ransomware with their boards and leadership within their organization and have a risk discussion based on the organization's control environment highlighting any gaps in your data resilience and recovery posture. Simply having a working backup and recovery can greatly reduce the risk associated with ransomware, not to mention non-malicious and accidental data loss scenarios. Like I said, having preventative measures in place is important as we all know, but it is equally important to have data resilience and recovery capabilities in place to protect your sensitive data when bad things happen. So, my ask is this…do yourself and your organizations a favor and take a fresh look at your data resilience and recovery capabilities, if you don’t have a plan, create one; if you don’t have the capabilities to recovery critical data implement them or share this information with your leaders and Board members and initiate risk-based discussions and options to address gaps in your capabilities. While the CRI’s pledge is a positive step, I’m certainly not waiting for them to solve the ransomware problem. But I’m hopeful that all the energy and attention it’s generated will compel companies to take a hard and objective look at their data resilience and recovery capabilities and plans and take action to address any gaps. In doing so, you are taking control and changing the narrative around the impact of a ransomware attack on your organization.

MGM & Caesars Cyberattacks: Lessons Learned By Tim Callan, Chief Experience Officer, Sectigo In the aftermath of the MGM and Caesars cyberattacks, many IT professionals are probably asking themselves, am I next? What lessons can businesses learn from these attacks and what can you do to make sure you are not next? One thing to keep top of mind is the fact that everybody is a potential target. Many people say, “I'm not a major casino, bank, or business. Why would anyone go after me?” The answer is, why not? If you are running digital systems necessary for your business to operate, you are a target. If your business comes to a stop, that is damaging to you, your customers, and your reputation.
