In today’s ransomware-prevalent world, adopting a robust cyber resilience strategy is critical to any financial institution’s survival. Cyber threats are unpredictable, ever-changing, and evolving, including political motivations, sometimes by highly sophisticated state actors. It is no longer a question of if, but when, an institution will face a crippling cyber incident and those who triumph will be the ones that have proactively planned to survive. Sheltered Harbor helps companies prepare to survive a crisis, like a major technology disruption caused by a cyber incident. Even if all critical systems, including backups fail, the company can restore critical business services. This helps maintain customer confidence and buys the company time to restore normal operations. Founded in 2015, Sheltered Harbor is the leading financial services industry-driven and funded not-for-profit “standard setting and certification” organization, dedicated to enhancing resilience in the global financial system. It is an independent subsidiary of the Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (“FS-ISAC”).

Q2 Software Inc. recently became the first non-bank, non-broker, non-Core-Service-Provider to achieve Sheltered Harbor certification of their data vaulting process. Jordan Hager, SVP Global Technology and Operations, explains why Sheltered Harbor is crucial to help them survive a crisis, like a ‘zero-day’ cyber-attack, including the corruption, destruction or loss of critical data. “We understand that in a complex security landscape, there is no single solution that guarantees a secure environment. This is why we place a premium on layers of security and defense in-depth and we view our Sheltered Harbor Data Vault as another layer of defense towards enhancing cyber security and resiliency. The backup and vaulting controls that Sheltered Harbor helps us implement gives us additional peace of mind that our backups are safe and secure should we need them for any reason, security or other. Combined with the focus that Sheltered Harbor places on financial services business continuity, along with the reputation they carry within the financial services community, we are proud to achieve this certification.” Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/eUpxffK7 Visit https://lnkd.in/gSSngzzB to join Sheltered Harbor and start your journey toward cyber resilience certification today. #shelteredharbor #cyberattack #cyberdefense #cyberresilience #cybersecurity #cyberrisk #dataprotection #disasterrecovery #resilience #businesscontinuity #financialservices #bankingindustry #getprepared #America #innovation #Q2software
Cybercriminals are getting smarter by the day and continually adjust their tactics. The FBI recently warned of emerging ransomware trends, including “the deployment of multiple ransomware variants against the same victim and the use of data-destruction tactics to increase pressure on victims to negotiate.” If you experience a data-destruction or data-deletion event, how will you continue to provide essential services despite the disruption? Fortunately, Sheltered Harbor helps you do exactly that. Protect your critical data in a Sheltered Harbor cyber-resilient vault. Develop your resilience plan, implement, test and have it certified. Then you’re ready. Even if all your critical systems, including backups fail, you’ll be able to restore your critical data to help maintain customer confidence and buy time to restore normal operations.

Cyber security is not enough. You have to plan for successful cyber-attacks while protecting against them. Your institution needs to become resilient to cyber incidents, so that you’ll be able to recover as quickly as possible if you face a successful attack. In our President Carlos Recalde's blog, you will learn how far the industry has come, what the current challenges are, and what must happen to make sure customers’ critical account data is protected.

One of the benefits of preparing for the worst is that you also prepare for less severe cyber attacks. In the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s Ransomware Guide, the first mitigation step is to ‘maintain offline, encrypted backups of critical data’. Sheltered Harbor helps you do exactly that. Protect your critical data in a Sheltered Harbor cyber-resilient, offline vault. Develop your resilience plan, implement, test and have it certified. Then you’re ready. Even if all your critical systems, including backups fail, you’ll still be able to restore your critical data, maintain customer confidence and buy time to restore normal operations.

The 2024 Dell Global Data Protection Index (GDPI) survey, revealed that 75% of organizations believe their existing data protection measures are unable to cope with ransomware threats. And almost 70% lacked confidence that they could reliably recover from a cyber attack. Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/e7RbvBtk That is a very concerning trend. Yet despite these perspectives, most organizations under-invest in resilience, business continuity and cyber recovery. Don’t be one of those organizations.

Now more than ever, we are seeing that if an extreme cyber incident occurs and the institution has not prepared themselves well enough to survive that incident, the CEO or CISO is being held accountable. Whose responsibility do you think it is to ensure an institution is cyber resilient? And who should be held accountable if they have not taken the necessary precautionary steps? Let us know in the comments below. If you are a CEO or CISO and would like 'peace of mind' that you have a back-up of last resort that is more resilient to ransomware and any other cyber incidents, visit https://lnkd.in/gSSngzzB to join Sheltered Harbor and start your journey toward cyber resilience certification today. #shelteredharbor #cyberattack #cyberdefense #cyberresilience #cybersecurity #cyberrisk #dataprotection #disasterrecovery #resilience #businesscontinuity #financialservices #bankingindustry #getprepared #America #innovation
