Your Backups Might Already Be Compromised. You Just Don't Know It Yet

This article examines the risks of unverified backups in recovery operations, focusing on how attackers may compromise backup systems without detection. It is part three of a series exploring backup verification as a critical component of incident response.

Why it matters: Security teams and backup administrators must verify backup integrity after incidents, as compromised backups can reintroduce threats during recovery and undermine the entire incident response effort.
