A recent study by Commvault reveals that 83% of organizations have faced a significant security breach, with over half occurring in the past year. This highlights the urgent need for robust cyber recovery strategies. Security professionals are increasingly concerned about external threats and acknowledge the inevitability of breaches.

To enhance cyber recovery readiness, organizations should adopt five key capabilities, or resiliency markers, identified by Commvault and GigaOm. These include advanced security tools, isolated data storage, and defined incident response protocols. Cyber mature organizations, which have implemented at least four of these markers, recover faster and experience fewer breaches compared to less prepared organizations.

Regular testing of cyber recovery plans is crucial for ensuring their effectiveness. Cyber mature organizations are more likely to test their plans quarterly, contributing to their confidence in their ability to recover from breaches.
