This ESG Technical Validation documents the detailed evaluation of the Pure Storage solution for ransomware mitigation and recovery . We evaluated how Pure Storage provides ransomware protection before , during , and after an attack , including offline restoration for malware cleansing , rapid recovery for priority systems , and support for forensics with space-efficient snapshots .

Background

Ransomware attacks continue to be top of mind for business and IT leaders – and for good reason ; they compromise access to an organization ’ s lifeblood – data . The recent rash of ransomware attacks has had tremendous costs , including downtime , people time , device costs , network cost , lost opportunity , ransom paid , and so on .

With millions of dollars spent annually to guard entry points to data , many organizations still underestimate the strategic value of augmenting data protection . ESG research shows that 36 % of survey respondents said their organization experienced such probing attacks on at least on a monthly basis over the past 12 months , including 9 % that were targeted daily and 12 % that were attacked weekly ( see Figure 1 ). 1

Another 27 % of respondents experienced ransomware attacks more sporadically . With so many organizations experiencing attempted ransomware attacks , it ’ s critical for organizations to implement strong defenses to address attacks before , during , and after to prevent them from succeeding , especially since victims can and often will be revisited by these criminals . �
