Derailing ransomware - today's great train robbery
It wasn't too long ago that the criminal enterprise of choice would see thieves jump aboard a moving train, navigate the carriages, neutralise the guards, get through locked doors, and ransack the locomotive of its valuable jewels and gold. In 2025, there is a similar motive at play, but the heists have shifted from the Wild West to the World Wide Web. Cyberattacks are today's great train robberies and they're increasingly common. Recent research from Rubrik Zero Labs found 92 per cent of Australian organisations experienced a cyberattack last year, and the attackers are only growing more sophisticated. Ransomware is one of the most common types of cyberattacks, comprising 20 per cent of all attacks, and those behind them do not discriminate. According to the same Rubrik Zero Labs' research, attackers have evolved, with 78 per cent of Australian victims reporting the threat actors were able to at least partially harm backup and recovery options. In more than a third (35 per cent) of cases, the attackers were completely successful. Why are attackers targeting backups? If they can successfully compromise these critical data copies, the victim's ability to recover data under their own steam will be severely impacted. The thinking is, if they can take these down, then the victim will be forced to pay the ransom. And it's working. Rubrik Labs Research also found that of the Australian firms hit with a ransomware attack last year, more than 90 per cent paid the ransom to recover their data. While paying an attacker may allow a business to recover its data or stop a threat, it also supports the cybercrime business model. If a ransomware attack works once, what's going to stop it working again, and again, and again. Paying a ransom just fuels the fire. These payments may have previously gone unreported, however late last month the federal government introduced mandatory ransomware payment reporting requirements. This could change the calculus for local organisations as they seek to avoid the reputational risk of payments going public. Unfortunately, despite best efforts, there is no silver bullet to protect against every single cyberattack. You can't prevent the unpreventable. So the only thing that matters is how quickly you can recover. There are many reasons why the frequency of cyberattacks, like ransomware, are increasing. These include the rising use of AI by cybercriminals, more sophistication of attacks, significant financial incentives, uneasy geopolitical climates, digitisation of organisations, and the shortage of cybersecurity professionals. With this in mind, adopting a preemptive recovery posture - one that recognises a motivated attack will eventually be successful - organisations can take the initiative and recover faster than attackers can adapt. So, it is imperative to be prepared with a recovery plan. To prepare for the worst. To adopt an "assumed breach" mindset. In short, cyber resilience strategies reduce the severity of ransomware threats. Even if an organisation's systems are breached and held to ransom, secure backups ensure the business can quickly assess the scale of the breach, understand the scope of the compromise, and rapidly recover operations - all without paying a ransom. This will lead to a decline in Australian businesses paying out ransoms and perpetuating the cybercrime business model. If the nation is no longer seen as a soft target, if robbers never come away with any loot, they'll shift their attention elsewhere - or better yet, leave the looting life behind. Just like trains in the Wild West, businesses need multiple defences. Even if the thieves make it onto the train, past the guard and get through the locked door, it's not like valuables are out in the open waiting to be taken. They're in safes, requiring different keys and combinations to open. Cyber resilience strategies are an organisation's impenetrable safe - ensuring the crown jewels and critical backups needed to keep the train in motion are out of an attacker's reach.

80% of Indian organisations paid ransom to recover data, stop attack in 2024: Study
NEW DELHI: In 2024, 80% of the Indian organisations that experienced a ransomware attack paid a ransom to recover their data or to stop the attack, according to the latest findings of a survey by Wakefield Research, which Rubrik Zero Labs commissioned. Significantly, 52% of Indian organisations paid a ransom due to data extortion threats while 44% reported that cyber attacks successfully affected their backup and recovery options, as per the findings. Given the ever-present threat of cyberattacks, the survey found that 65% of organisations in India store their sensitive data in up to three environments (including on-premises, cloud, or software-as-a-service or SaaS), but 38% of the respondents stated that one of their biggest challenges is securing their sensitive data across multiple environments. As a consequence of these attacks, 29% of the respondents reported financial losses, while 31% suffered from reputational damage and loss of customer confidence, and 36% experienced a forced leadership change following a cyber incident. 'Many organisations that move to the cloud assume their providers will handle security,' said Joe Hladik, head of Rubrik Zero Labs. 'The persistence of ransomware attacks, coupled with the exploitation of hybrid cloud vulnerabilities, shows that threat actors are always one step ahead.' Hladik added that companies must take action and protect their most valuable data before 'it's too late'. The findings are based on a survey of over 1,600 IT and security leaders across 10 countries, including the US, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Australia, Singapore and India. From India, 125 IT respondents participated in the survey. 'The latest RZL (Rubrik Zero Labs) report serves as a wake-up call for Indian IT leaders, this highlights the urgent need for data resilience and security in today's complex hybrid environments—where data is increasingly spread across on-premises infrastructure, public clouds, and SaaS platforms,' said Ashish Gupta, managing director (India) & head of engineering, Rubrik.

Rubrik Reveals 90 Per Cent Of Global IT And Security Executives Report Cyberattacks In The Past Year
Press Release – Rubrik Data sprawl drives spike in cyber incidents across AI, cloud, SaaS, and on-premise environments, according to Rubrik Zero Labs Report Sydney, April 23, 2025 – New research from Rubrik Zero Labs finds that organizations are facing a wave of cyberattacks, with 90 per cent of IT and security leaders reporting cyberattacks in the past year. The report, ' The State of Data Security in 2025: A Distributed Crisis,' reveals the hazards that hybrid environments are creating, leading to a cloud security crisis that organisations are unprepared to address. 'Many organisations that move to the cloud assume their providers will handle security,' said Joe Hladik, Head of Rubrik Zero Labs. 'The persistence of ransomware attacks, coupled with the exploitation of hybrid cloud vulnerabilities, shows that threat actors are always one step ahead. Companies must take action and adopt an attacker's mindset by identifying – and protecting – the most valuable data before it's too late. The need for a data-centric security strategy that prioritises visibility, control, and quick recovery has never been more urgent.' The Frequency and Impact of Cyberattacks Accelerate Cyberattacks are a constant threat: Nearly one fifth of organisations globally experienced more than 25 cyberattacks in 2024 alone, according to IT and security leaders – an average of at least one breach every other week. The most common attack vectors cited were data breaches (30 per cent), malware on devices (29 per cent), cloud or SaaS breaches (28 per cent), phishing (28 per cent), and insider threats (28 per cent). Consequences of these attacks include: 40 per cent of respondents reported increased security costs. 37 per cent noted reputational damage and loss of customer confidence. 33 per cent experienced a forced leadership change following a cyber incident. AI, Cloud Adoption and Greater Data Complexity Create New Challenges Protecting sensitive data across multiple systems has become increasingly nuanced as the widespread adoption of AI has significantly exacerbated the challenge of data sprawl. An overwhelming 90 per cent of IT and security leaders report managing hybrid cloud environments, and half of IT leaders say the majority of their workloads are now cloud-based. As a result, ' The State of Data Security in 2025: A Distributed Crisis ' found: 35 per cent of respondents cite securing data across these varied ecosystems as their top challenge, followed by a lack of centralised management (30 per cent), and a lack of visibility and control over cloud-based data (29 per cent). 36 per cent of sensitive files in the cloud are classified as high risk and are largely composed of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), such as Social Security numbers and phone numbers; followed by digital data and business data, such as intellectual property and source code. (Rubrik telemetry data) Ransomware and Identity Threats Evolve in Tandem Ransomware remains a persistent and evolving threat: Of the organisations that experienced a successful ransomware attack last year, 86 per cent admitted they paid a ransom to recover their data. Nearly three-quarters (74 per cent) said threat actors were able to partially compromise backup and recovery systems, while 35 per cent said their systems were completely compromised. Identity threats are intensifying, fueled by the complexity of today's hybrid environments: With 92 per cent of organisations using between two and five cloud and SaaS platforms, attackers are exploiting weak points in identity and access management to move laterally and escalate ransomware attacks. Insider threats – often driven by compromised credentials – were cited by 28 per cent of IT leaders, underscoring the growing difficulty of maintaining strong access controls across distributed systems. Rubrik telemetry reveals that 27 per cent of high-risk sensitive files contain digital data such as API keys, usernames, and account numbers – exactly the kind of information threat actors seek to hijack identities and infiltrate critical systems.
