Only 36% of Canadian businesses can get their data back after a ransomware attack. Is your backup actually working?
Most Atlantic Canadian businesses have backups, but half of them have never tested if they work. Finding out your backups fail after ransomware locks your files isn’t a plan — it’s a disaster waiting to happen. Attackers don’t just hit your live data; they go after backup copies first to make sure recovery is impossible.
Picture this: a local fishing company wakes up one morning to find their data locked. They trusted their backups—but never tested restoring files. Their backups were compromised first. That business lost weeks trying to recover and paid ransom, with no guarantee of success.
According to Sophos’ 2023 State of Ransomware in Canada report, only 36% of organizations fully recovered their data after paying. Most didn’t. You can’t stop every cyberattack, but you can be ready to bounce back faster.
