James Hughes, Enterprise CTO, Rubrik says, “Royal Mail hasn’t had the best record when it comes to cyber resilience recently, so it’s no surprise that the postal service company is LockBit’s next victim."
He adds, "When will this malicious gang be stopped? And who’s next? LockBit's continued success reiterates the pervasive threat ransomware still poses and it’s no longer a question of if a company will experience an attack, but when."
Data security
James Hughes continues, “For organisations like Royal Mail, disruptions have a drastic knock-on effect. Data is absolutely critical for its operations, and if that data becomes unavailable it won’t be able to deliver its services, literally. Responding to an attack and getting back online needs to be a priority."
He adds, "Still, recent attacks on household brands have proven recovery remains a struggle, with services disrupted or even shut down for weeks, if not months. Royal Mail isn’t alone though."
Cybersecurity
James Hughes concludes, "Research from Rubrik Zero Labs recently found that 96% of UK organisations were concerned that they wouldn’t be able to maintain business continuity after a breach. The cybersecurity team at Royal Mail now needs to evaluate the measures they have in place to respond to incidents, mitigate their future effects, and maintain data security. Ensuring data remains immutable to deletion or change will enable them to roll back to a clean version in order to maintain business continuity.”
