“It has become an all too tired refrain, it’s not a matter of ‘if’ a ransomware attack will occur, but ‘when,’” said Colum O’Donovan, Senior Director, Global Cloud Alliances. “Today, when management wonders if they will be able to recover from a ransomware attack, there is typically no easy way to get a quick answer. When management asks their IT teams, they typically receive a long list of items the IT team is doing to protect their backups, but it still does not give them a simple assurance as to how safe they are. The power of R-Score is now organizations have a simple metric to track and get the IT teams completely aligned to protect and recover in the inevitable event of an attack. The new ransomware readiness assessment services and certification program provide our partners with a powerful resource to help their customers prevent and recover in the event of an attack.”
With the introduction of the CRN 5-Star PACE (Partners Accelerating Cloud Environments) Global Partner Program, HYCU laid the foundation for the new ransomware assessment and recovery services for partners. The new certification program has been completed by several partners including Kloud Data, 1st Basis and Incentro.
The newest Ransomware Assessment Services and Certification program provides HYCU partners with a specialized Consultative version of R-Score. Partners then have the ability to do a complete assessment of their customers’ preparedness to recover from a Ransomware event when one happens. In addition to the assessment, partners’ customers also receive recommendations to increase their score. As part of the launch of the new services, in addition to comprehensive training and support, HYCU provides certification for partners to deliver the assessment and ransomware readiness services to their customers.

The new assessment and certification program does just that and provides a blueprint of what actions need to be taken immediately in order to be best prepared to prevent and recover from an inevitable attack.”
