Recovery Range Lab. Credit Karen Lopez If you’ve ever faced ransomware recovery, you know the painful choice: roll back to an old clean backup and lose weeks of data, or restore the latest backup and risk reinfection. Neither is good. Many organizations have suffered tremendous losses trying to recover from ransomware. One of the medical organizations I'm a customer of lost months and months of medica images due to ransomware.

I’ve said that in more meetings than I can count and even here: we have to inventory and classify data in order to protect it. Here’s a real example of mine at a client, I kept finding credit card numbers stored in a NOTES column in a production database for a website. This database wasn’t supposed to have any financial data at all. When I raised it, I got pushback “The web app doesn’t use that data, so it’s fine.” Spoiler: it wasn’t fine.
