Who could have guessed that having tested, well protected and current backups help when dealing with cyber security incidents?

Hard to judge from the outside, but I would say you were prepared (with room for improvement).

  • You had working backups
  • Your backups were well protected
  • You did not pay the ransom
  • You were able to work with the limited tools you had
  • And everything restored within one month.

Companies that are not well prepared:

  • Have no backups or their backups encrypted, too
  • Are not able to operate during the recovery phase
  • Pay the ransom
  • Have no plan in what order to restore stuff
  • Are impacted even one year later ... or go bankrupt.
