A study by Orion soft involving 93 large enterprises reveals that while 86.9% of companies have Disaster Recovery (DR) plans, only 34.4% conduct regular drills. Nearly 38% of respondents either never test their recovery systems or have done so only once during implementation.
Most companies face major IT failures no more than once or twice a year. For 87.7% of participants, the Recovery Time Objective (RTO) is strictly regulated. Specifically, 41.5% of firms require critical system restoration within one hour, while 46.2% allow for several hours of downtime.
Although 91.3% of companies use replication tools, 68.1% still rely on manual backup restoration as their primary recovery method. Experts note that manual processes increase the risk of errors, whereas automated DR solutions can achieve an RTO of 15 minutes and near-zero data loss.
Market data from Telecom Birzha indicates that demand for backup and DRaaS services doubled in 2025 compared to 2024. Companies typically include only 20–25% of their IT infrastructure in the DR perimeter to prioritize critical services and optimize project costs.
Uptime Institute reports that power supply issues remain the leading cause of major outages. In a 2025 survey, 57% of respondents stated their last significant failure cost over $100,000, with 20% reporting losses exceeding $1 million.
Research by RED Security SOC on ransomware incidents shows that initial ransom demands averaged around 50 ₽ million, often negotiated down to 15 ₽–20 million. Eight out of ten affected companies engaged in negotiations with attackers.
