Commvault's 2024 Cyber Recovery Readiness Report reveals important insights into cybersecurity practices. Organizations that have experienced breaches invest 30% more in cybersecurity measures and are 2.5 times more likely to prioritize understanding their data risk profiles. These breached organizations also conduct more testing, with only 2% not testing their recovery plans compared to 20% of non-breached organizations.

The impact of these investments is significant: breached organizations recover 41% faster and are 32% more likely to recover within 48 hours. This reduced downtime can lead to substantial savings in direct financial losses and preservation of customer trust. The report emphasizes that proactive cyber resilience measures are far less costly than the potential expenses of cyber incidents.

The event targets CISOs, CIOs, and data security professionals, offering insights on maintaining a continuous advantage over cyber threats and reducing recovery time post-attack.
