Abstract: Ransomware attacks continue to increase in frequency, complexity and damaging effects worldwide. Cybercriminals have operationalized ransomware into a multibillion-dollar illegal enterprise with the capability to exploit and disrupt even the largest and most sophisticated companies. However, both the probability and severity of an attack can be mitigated when companies develop and maintain strategies for both prevention and mitigation. This white paper offers insight into the current ransomware landscape and outlines steps an organization can take to prepare for and respond to ransomware attacks.
