Illumio head of incident response & managed services Ben Harel discusses the company’s new Incident Response Partner Program which has already minimized the impact of dozens of active ransomware attacks around the world. It takes an average of 277 days to identify and contain a breach and the average cost of a data breach is now $4.35 million, according to IBM. During the recovery process, however, attackers often remain active in the environment, preventing organizations from bringing systems back online. Thankfully, the Incident Response Partner Program prevents reinfection by halting all traffic between infected endpoints and servers, granting immediate network visibility, and quickly restoring operations.
