From IT Failure to Ransomware: Downtime Costs Millions




The problem
When an incident hits, the clock isn’t just ticking—your business is bleeding. Lateral movement accelerates, systems freeze, customers are impacted, and every minute of outage compounds financial & operational damage.
Most organizations rely on manual recovery steps. This leaves teams blind, controls offline, and operations at a standstill. Downtime doesn’t wait. Recovery shouldn’t either.
Rapid endpoint recovery matters
The numbers don't lie—and they’re getting worse. When incidents strike, the losses are immediate—and staggering. The following stats reveal just how high the stakes are.
Your disaster recovery strategy means nothing, unless you can control endpoint recovery securely. The alternative is a painstaking slog to manually restore each device individually, to ensure it doesn’t bring the whole network down again
Cybercrime and software failures cause disruptions that cost organizations more than a trillion dollars in losses annually.

Incident response & endpoint recovery FAQ
Ela acelera a recuperação porque muda as condições de base. Em vez de apenas reagir ao problema, a solução oferece uma conexão persistente e self-healing com cada endpoint. Isso permite executar ações críticas em minutos, e não em meses, como reverter um patch com falha, restaurar um dispositivo atingido por ransomware ou fazer remote wipe em um endpoint perdido para impedir uma violação de dados.
Ferramentas tradicionais costumam falhar quando agents são desativados ou perdem conexão, deixando a empresa cega justamente durante uma crise. Esta platform garante conectividade contínua e não removível, preservando acesso e controle o tempo todo. Trata-se de certeza e resilience quando isso realmente importa. Ela é compatível com uma ampla gama de PCs Windows, o que é especialmente importante para organizações empresariais com ambientes mistos de dispositivos. Além disso, o Rehydrate permite desde um reimage completo do Windows até ações mais cirúrgicas, como adicionar ou remover arquivos, modificar o registry ou executar scripts, tudo a partir de uma camada abaixo do operating system.
A implantação é rápida graças à tecnologia incorporada ao firmware presente na maioria dos dispositivos corporativos. Não é necessária infraestrutura complexa.
