Ransomware attacks are no longer a question of if—it's a matter of when. With hackers increasingly targeting backup and disaster recovery (DR) systems, organizations need more than prevention strategies; they need a battle-tested plan for minimizing damage, forensically determining what's happened and restoring your environment without paying the ransom. Renowned experts W. Curtis Preston and Dr. Mike Saylor offer a comprehensive guide to protecting critical systems and responding effectively when the worst happens. Whether you're a security professional unaware of how exposed your backup systems are, or a backup admin in need of stronger security expertise, this book is your essential roadmap. With actionable advice, clear frameworks, and step-by-step guidance, it bridges the gap between data protection and cybersecurity—empowering teams to deliver decisive, effective responses when faced with ransomware. Ransomware is malicious software (malware) designed to block access to a computer system or encrypt its data until a ransom is paid. Ransomware is typically developed with high-level programming languages, like C, C++, jаvascript, and Python due to their flexibility and compatibility across various computer operating systems. Some have also been found to be written in more specialized programming languages like Go and Rust, which provide greater speed, efficiency, and additional compatibility across target systems.
