Synopsis

Ransomware attacks are no longer a question of if—they're 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 their 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 who's unaware of how exposed your backup systems are or a backup admin in need of stronger security expertise, this book is your essential road map. 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.

  • Prevent 90% of ransomware attacks with practical, simple steps
  • Shield your backup systems from also being a victim of the attack
  • Minimize the blast radius of attacks on your infrastructure
  • Identify, isolate, and restore compromised systems with confidence
  • Develop and test a detailed incident response plan
