A better idea... Someone should write an article on where to buy backup drives and imaging software so you don't have to pay the ransom.
"Avoiding becoming part of that statistic requires good endpoint security and effective backups. But what if your defenses fail, your backups are inadequate, all attempts to restore the data fail, and you have to pay the ransom after all -- what do you do?" The article mentions backups twice. The quoted paragraph above mentions effective back ups that for what ever reason don't work. How could that be if they are effective?
It says effective backups are required to avoid becoming part of the statistics. That part is accurate and makes sense. Obviously if they fail they are no longer effective.
