Building Cyber Resilience for Ransomware

Enterprises worldwide face an unprecedented increase in the frequency and intensity of ransomware and cyberattacks. By one measure, these threats are expected to cost organizations over $200 billion annually by 2031. In response, organizations are demanding faster data corruption detection, along with rapid and confident recovery.

Enter Index Engines, which offers CyberSense, a patented solution that provides early detection of data corruption from ransomware to accelerate response and execute a recovery that minimizes disruption, prevents data loss, and reduces risk to the business.

Precision derived from using a state-of-the-art AI/ML engine layered on top of a highly scalable content indexing platform gives CyberSense 99.99% accuracy in distinguishing between normal user activity and malicious, ransomware-induced changes to files, databases, and core infrastructure. This gives companies using CyberSense confidence that the backups and snapshots they rely on for recovery have integrity while enabling a highly intelligent and reliable recovery process in the event of an attack.

In a new and exclusive Leadership Brief, Futuriom explores how CyberSense works in the field to detect corruption from a ransomware attack and provide forensic analysis to support streamlined recovery and minimize business downtime.

This series of case studies examines how using CyberSense ensures full trust in data integrity, the capability to recover data with confidence, and access to full AI/ML analytics for companies across a range of verticals and geographies. Each organization describes how they achieved confidence in data integrity, the capability to not be held for ransom, recovery readiness, and peace of mind.

“CyberSense provides us that single point of reference to truly understand the current state of our data and know that we’re protected. It definitely enables us to get a good night’s sleep,” said Anthony Bryson, Ph.D., CISO for the Government of Gilbert, Arizona. Deploying Index Engines’ solution allowed the state government to protect sensitive resident data, ensure service continuity, and defend against increasing ransomware threats.

In light of these case studies, Futuriom has outlined a series board-level actions to be taken in response to growing cyber threats. These include:

Approving investments in technologies such as CyberSense that ensure data integrity, reduce downtime, and protect revenue streams.
Requiring a documented, tested cyber recovery workflow with clear RTO/RPO objectives.
Exploring solutions that offer full confidence that data corruption will be detected, that ransomware attacks will be forensically analyzed, and that intelligent recovery is supported to minimize downtime.
Mandating tabletop exercises and recovery drills at least once a year.

For each of the case studies Futuriom examined, we identified the challenge and stated the outcome based on adoption of CyberSense in a range of situations. In every instance, CyberSense delivered detection accuracy, deep content inspection, advanced corruption detection, and continuous innovation.
