Everyone knows that the quickest way to recover from a ransomware attack is to restore from backup. It sounds simple enough, but the actual restore process can be complex, not to mention slow.

The unprecedented promise of machine learning (ML) is still unrealized, because data scientists are spending most of their time on non-data-science work.
