Ransomware: A database survival guide
summary
Ransomware climbs fast with 2020 ransom payments tracked at about $412 million and insurers raising premiums 90% to 200% while some drop coverage, and attackers succeed enough that about 5% failure rate occurs when victims pay and don't get keys. Recovery strategy centers on an immutable offline backup model, ideally Oracle’s Zero Data Loss Recovery Appliance which restores to the last transaction plus an isolated recovery vault. Protect exfiltration with Transparent Data Encryption and external key storage in a key vault, use Database Vault, ASM, frequent patching or Autonomous Database, and multi‑datacenter standbys.
