Scenario 1: Keep head down, company gets attacked, shrug shoulders.
Scenario 2: Sell solid security and backup principles to management, fighting annoying budget and corporate culture battles along the way. Company does not get attacked. Nobody notices.
Scenario 3: Quietly set up an immutable backup service with hourly backups for your enterprise without anyone really noticing. Company gets attacked. "Actually, we do have backups. We can just reformat all those Windows machines." Hero!
- canada_dry 6y ago> backup service with hourly backups for your enterprise without anyone really noticing Well, except this is similar to #2 as it will likely stand out in the budget - especially the initial setup. IT being a cost centre has to fight for every penny in most non-IT-centric organizations. Plus, the hackers will still threaten to release your corporate data (i.e. emails, client info) which would compel most companies to pay-up. Bottom line: every company needs good backups, intrusion detection, and system hardening (with 3rd party review).
