NEW
YORK, July 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kyndryl
(NYSE: KD), the world's largest IT infrastructure services
provider, today announced a new retainer service to help customers
recover from a disruptive cyber incident such as ransomware.
Kyndryl's Recovery Retainer Service focuses on recovery actions
that extend beyond incident response retainers available on the
market today. The service is a natural complement to any incident
response retainer and builds on Kyndryl's expertise in security and
resiliency services.
Kyndryl's Recovery Retainer Service provides experts, either on
the ground or remote, to help organizations recover from a cyber
incident. This service is designed to provide on-demand qualified
experts in cyber recovery, to assist the customer in proactively
improving cyber recovery preparedness, as well as delivering
support to recover from cybersecurity events.
Kyndryl combines deep domain expertise, recovery response, and
remediation to maximize value while using industry-best practices
supported by consulting and recovery expertise to support customers
as they face ever increasing threats.
"We need to see a shift in this field, from simply security to
one of 'cyber resilience.' The public and private sector need both
because today it is no longer a question of whether cyber attackers
will breach our defenses, but when will they break through and how
much damage they will do," said Kris
Lovejoy, Kyndryl Security and Resiliency Global Practice
Leader. "The Recovery Retainer Service mitigates the impact of
cyber incidents by having experts on hand," Lovejoy said.
"IT and cybersecurity teams are being tasked to demonstrate that
cyber resilience does not reside solely on whiteboards anymore.
Having an actual cyber recovery plan that allows for key
capabilities to be brought up in a controlled and rapid manner is a
key step in cyber resilience," said Craig
Robinson, IDC Research Vice President, Security Services. "A
logical progression involves practicing the cyber recovery plan on
a regular basis to reduce the elevated stress levels that are
inherent in an actual cyber recovery operation, while
simultaneously smoothing out the kinks from the inevitable changes
to an organization's digital footprint."
Kyndryl's Recovery Retainer Service provides global expert
knowledge, assets, and delivery to perform recovery actions after
an attack causes an outage. The service is intended to help
customers get back up and running quickly. It goes beyond incident
response retainer services that provide forensics, but typically do
not address recovery-related actions such as defining recovery
processes based upon forensics, redeploying applications, restoring
data, cleaning systems, among other critical tasks. The Kyndryl
Recovery Retainer Service complements existing incident response
retainers.
