Case Study: Kansas City Organization Emerges Unscathed from Ransomware Attack
Summary
Invision not only saved this company from paying a large ransom, but also restored the entire network with data intact within one business day. Like many other office environments across Kansas City, the network consists of a server, several workstations, some local and some cloud-based software programs, such as Microsoft and Creative Cloud. The tape, thanks to the way it saves data, was the only viable solution to avoid paying the ransom and getting back to business as usual. Ransom demand amounts are on the rise, with the average payment doubling from $41,198 between July and September to $84,116 for the period between October and December in 2020. Even though the organization did have to pay for emergency disaster recovery, the amount was far, far less than what ransom would have been, saving tens of thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in time lost, not to mention business.
