The Resilient CISO - The Ransomware Reality: Zero Days to Recover
The Resilient CISO - The Ransomware Reality: Zero Days to Recover
Ransomware is not a future threat. It is a present reality.
Eighty-three percent of CISOs say they are confident in their organization's ability to recover from a ransomware attack. More than half experienced a disruptive incident in the past year. Not a single respondent recovered within 24 hours. That gap — between confidence and capability — is the defining ransomware challenge of this moment.
Today's CISOs are navigating an environment where ransomware actors operate like businesses, AI is accelerating every phase of the attack chain, and the consequences of a single incident extend from operational downtime to personal liability. Pure prevention is no longer sufficient. The organizations that endure ransomware are those that have built the infrastructure, the governance, and the organizational conditions to absorb disruption and recover at speed.
This report delivers the data, the context, and the clarity needed to close the gap.
Key findings on ransomware resilience:
- Discover why 83% of CISOs express confidence in ransomware recovery, and what the incident data reveals about the reality behind that confidence.
- Understand why 58% of CISOs would consider paying ransom, and what that reveals about the state of enterprise recovery infrastructure.
- Explore why the near-even split between IT, Security, and shared recovery ownership is extending downtime for thousands of organizations.
- Benchmark your ransomware readiness against 750 of your peers across the US and UK.
