Ransomware recovery is the process of resuming options following a cyberattack that demands payment in exchange for unlocking encrypted data. Having good data backups and a solid  disaster recovery (DR) plan are the best ways an organization can recover successfully from this type of attack. With ransomware so prevalent, experts are urging businesses to assume that they will be hit with an attack, so protection and recovery are top of mind. Ransomware, a subset of malware, typically gets into a system when a user opens an infected email attachment or website. Several major attacks have recently made headlines across the world: WannaCry ransomware in May 2017 hit more than 100,000 organizations. The payment total was not high, considering the scale of the attack, but the downtime for organizations led to big losses. Petya in June 2017 was first detected in Ukraine government systems before spreading to organizations around the world. Bad Rabbit ransomware in October 2017 spre...

Serverless computing is an  event-driven application design and deployment paradigm in which computing resources are provided as scalable cloud services. In traditional application deployments, the server’s computing resources represent fixed and recurring costs, regardless of the amount of computing work that is actually being performed by the server. In a serverless computing deployment, the cloud customer only pays for service usage; there is never any cost associated with idle, down-time. Reallocation  Serverless computing does not eliminate servers, but instead seeks to emphasize the idea that computing resource considerations can be moved into the background during the design process. Developers can drop in code, create backend applications, create event handling routines and process data – all without worrying about servers, virtual machines (VMs) or the underlying compute resources because the actual hardware and infrastructure involve...
