There is technology available that can recover systems from a ransomware attack in the time it takes to reboot, but it needs to be in place before the attack occurs. This technology restores exactly what was on the system prior to the attack so normal operations can resume immediately. The decision to invest in this technology is a lot like buying insurance, and organizations/governments are just as enthusiastic about buying insurance as the average consumer. Spending money to protect your systems against something that has never happened might seem like a waste of funds, but the cost of recovering all the systems on your network is always greater. The decision to invest in recovery protection must be compared to the worst-case scenario.
