As cyber attacks have become part of business reality, companies must not only defend against attacks but also plan how to ensure business continuity if an attack occurs. The numbers show how serious this challenge is; ransomware today accounts for 44 percent of all security breaches, and nearly 30 percent of attacks come through supply chains and third parties. In the EMEA region, the share of more complex, so-called system intrusion attacks has increased from 27 to 53 percent in just one year.
The problem is further exacerbated by the fact that more than 54 percent of known vulnerabilities are not addressed in time. On average, it takes about 32 days to close a vulnerability, which leaves attackers more than enough time to access the organization’s systems. The human factor is involved in as much as 60 percent of incidents, whether it is phishing, misconfiguration, or poor access management.
Paradigm Shift
Therefore, the focus of cybersecurity is changing, as complete prevention is no longer a realistic goal. Resilience is becoming increasingly important, that is, the ability of an organization to restore data, systems, and business processes to functionality as quickly as possible after an incident.

This is precisely the foundation of Grafen’s approach to data protection; backup is no longer viewed merely as a safety copy, but as part of the security architecture that must remain available even when primary systems are compromised.
This is important because attackers are increasingly targeting backup as a target of cyber attacks. If they manage to disable it, the company has fewer options for recovery and the pressure to pay the ransom increases. Nevertheless, about two-thirds of organizations today decide not to pay attackers.
