According to the recent global survey conducted by Commvault and GigaOm, there are five capabilities, also called resiliency markers. They help companies recover faster from cyberattacks and experience fewer breaches.

Five resiliency markers:

Security tools that enable early warning about risk, including insider risk. They may include tools such as intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS), as well as user behavior analytics (UBA) solutions.
A known-clean dark site or secondary system in place. It is a backup system that can be used to restore data and systems in the event of a cyberattack.
An isolated environment to store an immutable copy of the data. This could be an air gap or a persistent data storage system.
Defined runbooks, roles, and processes for incident response. This is an action plan that describes what to do in the event of a cyberattack.
Specific measures to show cyber recovery readiness and risk. May include regular cybersecurity training and disaster recovery testing.

The research found that companies that implemented at least four of the five resilience markers recovered 41% faster than respondents with only zero or one marker. Additionally, companies with high levels of cybersecurity were more likely to report that they felt confident in their ability to recover from an attack.

Implementing resilience markers can help a business reduce downtime after a cyberattack, reduce financial damage and protect its reputation.

Additional tips for improving your resilience to cyberattacks:

Create a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that includes prevention, detection, response and recovery measures.
Regular system and software updates.
Training employees in the basics of cybersecurity.
Creating data backups and testing them regularly.
Incident response plan in case of a cyberattack.

Cyberattacks are a serious threat to any business, but by implementing the right comprehensive security measures, you can protect your company and continue to function effectively even in the most challenging environments.
