Ransomware is the Cybersecurity threat that receives the most press recently as news hit that the average payment doubled in 19Q4 over 19Q3, coming in at $84,116. Even worse, ransomware hackers haven’t been content with allowing those companies with backups to get by without paying the ransom. They’ve been trying to extort them by threatening to release the victim’s data into the wild. After the ransom is paid, will you get your data back, and will the attacker move on or hold you hostage for more?

The most damaging thing will be the total cost of recovery.  These costs will include legal, investigative, lost productivity, brand reputation and other post event remediation to return to normal operations.  Depending on the type of data that was accessed, there may be subsequent fines to be paid.

 

While ransomware gets the headlines, there are many other types of cyber attacks that business leaders have to be concerned about these days. Cyber fraud, phishing, spear phishing, DDoS… the list goes on.
