Ensuring Data Defensibility in an Era of Inevitable Breaches
summary
Data grows ~42% every 18 months, meaning a typical estate (28M sensitive records today) reaches ~175M in five years, so expect to secure a Fortune‑50 scale data set; attackers hit backups in 96% of intrusions and succeed 74% of the time, while recoverable backups make victims 27x less likely to pay and stolen data increases ransoms ~5.5x. Practical fixes: get data visibility (what and where), enforce contested recovery plan testing, enforce immutability, limit access, and treat hybrid (on‑prem/cloud/SaaS) estates as the defensive boundary.
