Kyndryl announced a retainer service to help customers recover from a cyber security incident such as ransomware.
Kyndryl’s Recovery Retainer Service focuses on recovery actions that extend beyond incident response retainers available on the market today. The service is a natural complement to any incident response retainer and builds on Kyndryl’s expertise in security and resiliency services.
Kyndryl’s Recovery Retainer Service provides experts, either on the ground or remote, to organizations to recover from a cyber incident. This service is designed to provide on-demand qualified experts in cyber recovery, to assist the customer in proactively improving cyber recovery preparedness, as well as delivering support to recover from cybersecurity events.
Kyndryl offers three recovery retainer tiers to fit your requirements. All tiers include an intake workshop, access to 24/7 phone support, and a predefined number of hours for our

IT and cybersecurity teams are being tasked to demonstrate that cyber resilience does not reside solely on whiteboards anymore. Having an actual cyber recovery plan that allows for key capabilities to be brought up in a controlled and rapid manner is a key step in cyber resilience, said Craig Robinson, IDC Research Vice President, Security Services.
