You’ve heard it before, it isn’t will you get hit with a ransomware attack, but when you will?
As our work environments have shifted from office to remote, the cyber threats have increased exponentially. According to the Institute for Security and Technology, ransomware victims paid out $350M in 2020 – a 311% increase over 2019.
With remote working continuing to remain a forefront for organizations, employees are no longer confined within the corporate networks’ perimeter. Ransomware gangs and criminals are leveraging this vulnerability. With current foreign relations, Russia is focused on leveraging cyber warfare if anyone dares to interfere with their mission.

- Company devices with additional security in place
From a corporate perspective, reducing your risks starts with impactful conversations with the boardroom and other key stakeholders.
