But as CISOs look for hope on Anti-Ransomware Day, they can consider the advice of one infosec pro: If you’re well-prepared for any cyberattack you’re prepared for ransomware. ”Ransomware is a disaster recovery event,” says Robert Capps, vice-president of innovation at the NuData Security division of Mastercard. “And for a lot of organizations, it’s a fairly mild one. For others, it can be business-impacting. “When you talk to CISOs about any sort of disaster situation it comes down to resiliency and recoverability. Ransomware is just a fancy disruption attack. There can also be disruption through power outages or provider outages … You’ve got to be able to recover quickly, and those organizations that are ready don’t really sweat ransomware as much as recoverability of systems.”
