Ransomware Continues to Grow in Both Severity and Frequency Across Australia.

Alarmingly, nearly 70% of Australian businesses reported experiencing a ransomware attack in the past five years, and 84% of those firms paid the ransom, with average payments rising to AU$1.35 million.

Beyond financial impact, one in three Australian organisations hit by ransomware were attacked more than once in the last 12 months. This points to a dangerous cycle of repeat attacks, often exacerbated by fragmented security tools and visibility gaps.

The regulatory landscape is also tightening. In 2025, Australia introduced a mandatory reporting requirement: organisations that make ransom payments must now inform the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) within 72 hours. This reflects a broader governmental drive to establish accountability and enhance national resilience

In fast-moving ransomware scenarios, prolonged downtime is not an option; especially when repeat attacks and compliance requirements are on the line.

How Zerto Cyber Resilience Vault Changes the Equation

Zerto Cyber Resilience Vault, powered by HPE, redefines ransomware recovery for Australian enterprises. Built on a decentralised, Zero Trust architecture, it delivers:

Immutable, air-gapped data vaults that cannot be tampered with by attackers.
Continuous data protection (CDP) with near-zero RPO (Recovery Point Objective).
Automated orchestration and orchestrated workflows for recovery in minutes, not days.
Operational flexibility, enabling you to resume business on production-grade infrastructure even during forensic investigations.

This isn’t just recovery; it’s rapid, resilient, and trusted defence designed for today’s high-stakes environment.
