Forrester Consulting study reveals $19.7M savings recovering from ransomware losses with Quest
“Sometimes, leaders who make budget decisions are not as technical
and may not understand what DRE does. I would explain that without it,
none of our employees would be able to log in for seven days if we
were attacked.”
--Global infrastructure and operations manager, manufacturing
Active Directory (AD) is a tier zero asset. When AD fails—whether caused by ransomware or similar catastrophe--the IT environment comes to a grinding halt, which means the entire organization stops working and the C-suite is on high alert until AD is restored.
To quantify the potential economic impact of AD outages and recovery, Quest commissioned Forrester Consulting to interview five Recovery Manager for Active Directory Disaster Recovery Edition (RMAD DRE) customers and aggregate into a composite organization.
The Total Economic ImpactTM study results are eye-opening:
- The hourly cost of AD downtime ($730k)
- The 90% improvement to recover AD with RMAD DRE by year three
- The $19.7M potential savings over three years from faster recovery from ransomware attack with RMAD DRE
- The math and assumptions behind these calculations
