## AI overview

An Omdia study commissioned by Object First reports declining enterprise ransomware recovery rates despite increased awareness of data protection strategies. The findings show frequent attacks, worsening data recoverability, missed recovery objectives, and a substantial gap between the perceived importance of immutable backup storage and its actual implementation. The study also highlights demand for independent validation of vendor immutability claims.
