Artificial intelligence (AI) has had everyone agog with the possibility of replacing engineers and putting software creation in the hands of non-developers. Everyone is talking about “vibe coding,” where all you have to do is describe a working idea, and an application appears.

Ransomware has evolved; attackers now hunt for backup systems before launching the main strike. They slip into an environment, corrupt the recovery chain, then trigger the payload when escape routes are already gone. AI is only accelerating this shift, giving attackers tools to scan networks and breach defences at scale. Backups alone no longer guarantee a way out, so organisations need to ensure recovery is fast, predictable, and resilient – even when data protection layers are compromised.
