That leaves a 27 percent gap filled by organizations that had backups but still had to pay the ransom. ![]() The Sophos report also found that backups are the number one method for restoring data, used by 73 percent of respondents whose data was encrypted.īut here’s where the numbers illustrate the problem: 46 percent of respondents said they paid the ransom to restore data. Unfortunately, ransomware isn’t going anywhere either: Sophos’ The State of Ransomware 2022 report found that 66 percent of the respondent’s organizations were hit by ransomware in the last year, with 65 percent of the attacks resulting in data encryption. Mordor also points out that the most significant factor driving this growth is the “explosion in unstructured data, increasing the footprint of scale-out NAS in enterprise IT systems.” We concur, only adding that this massive data growth also drives the need for scale-out backup storage. ![]() ![]() Mordor Intelligence estimates that more than 80 percent of midmarket and enterprise organizations are using network-attached storage (NAS) today and predicts that the NAS market will grow at an impressive 19.5 percent CAGR between 20.
