?? If your Active Directory goes down, how long will it take to recover? For most organizations, the answer is too long. Cyberattackers know AD is a critical target. If you don’t have an AD recovery plan, you don’t have a complete security strategy. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g2TayG5p

The Medusa ransomware gang's surge in attacks has triggered a new #StopRansomware advisory from CISAgov and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), warning organizations of the growing threat targeting critical industries. In Kristina Beek’s latest Dark Reading article, Semperis AVP Daniel Lattimer highlights why businesses must adopt an "assumed breach" mindset because companies operating under the assumption that their systems have been or will be compromised shift the focus from preventing breaches to detecting, responding, and recovering quickly. Organizations should assess their critical systems and where they are because when these services are inoperable or exposed because of vulnerabilities, hackers could flood the system. Have a “what to do if” plan that includes a robust backup and recovery plan.

Recovering Active Directory manually is slow and prone to mistakes, often requiring extra time to fix errors. In large enterprises, this can tie up 10 to 15 IT staff, increasing downtime and adding pressure to the team. Active Directory Forest Recovery (ADFR) simplifies the process by automating up to 29 recovery steps, making it faster and more reliable. Traditional backups restore everything, including hidden malware, which creates additional risks. ADFR takes a different approach by isolating AD backups from the operating system ensuring a clean recovery. With small, efficient backups, it can restore systems in minutes or hours whether on-prem in the cloud or in a hybrid setup. When time is critical, Semperis' ADFR does the heavy lifting allowing your team to stay focused on protecting the organization. #TuesdayTip #CybersecurityTip

Defenders have their hands full with the notorious Medusa ransomware, leading the FBI / CISA to create an advisory with mitigation recommendations. In Davey Winder's recent article in Forbes, Semperis AVP Daniel Lattimer explains why organizations must adopt an assumed breach position, why identity systems such as Active Directory require special attention, and why it never pays to pay the ransom.
