Ransomware began as little more than a new type of malware exploit with a different payload—generating revenue by extorting payment from victims—but it has evolved into a complex business model. The malware payload is just one element of the much larger ransomware operation, or RansomOp, that make today’s attacks far more sophisticated and insidious. The study also once again finds that ‘it doesn’t pay-to-pay’ a ransom demand, as 80% of organizations that paid were hit by ransomware a second… Show more

Ransomware began as little more than a new type of malware exploit with a different payload—generating revenue by extorting payment from victims—but it has evolved into a complex business model. The malware payload is just one element of the much larger ransomware operation, or RansomOp, that make today’s attacks far more sophisticated and insidious. The study also once again finds that ‘it doesn’t pay-to-pay’ a ransom demand, as 80% of organizations that paid were hit by ransomware a second time, with 68% saying the second attack came less than a month later and threat actors demanded a higher ransom amount...

The lack of preparedness for ransomware attacks on weekends and holidays has a significant impact on victim organizations, with 60% of respondents saying they resulted in longer periods to assess the scope of an attack, 50% saying they required more time to mount an effective response, and 33% indicating they required a longer period to fully recover from the attack. On the human side of the equation, 86% of respondents indicated they have missed a holiday or weekend activity because of a ransomware attack, a situation that can factor into employee job satisfaction and potential burnout. One surprising finding in the study included 70% of respondents confessing that they have been intoxicated while responding to a ransomware attack during a weekend or holiday, a risk factor that many organizations may not have accounted for in their incident response planning...

The global research report Ransomware: The True Cost to Business, reveals that the vast majority of organizations that have suffered a ransomware attack have experienced significant impact to the business, including loss of revenue, damage to the organization’s brand, unplanned workforce reductions, and even closure of the business altogether. Paying a ransom demand does not guarantee a successful recovery, does not prevent the attackers from hitting the victim organization again, and in the… Show more

The global research report Ransomware: The True Cost to Business, reveals that the vast majority of organizations that have suffered a ransomware attack have experienced significant impact to the business, including loss of revenue, damage to the organization’s brand, unplanned workforce reductions, and even closure of the business altogether. Paying a ransom demand does not guarantee a successful recovery, does not prevent the attackers from hitting the victim organization again, and in the end only exacerbates the problem by encouraging more attacks. Getting in front of the threat by adopting a prevention-first strategy for early detection will allow organizations to stop disruptive ransomware before they can hurt the business. Show less
