Ransomware is on the rise

Get expert advice on one of the fastest growing and most dangerous cyber threats to your business.

Talk to an expert

Ransomware: a devastating threat

Ransomware is malicious software (malware) used in a cyberattack to encrypt a victim’s data. The data becomes unusable until a ransom is paid.

70% of ransomware occurrences employ double extortion tactics, where attackers exfiltrate and steal sensitive company information to coerce companies to pay even more. If payment isn’t made, the attackers leak the data onto the dark web.

By 2031, ransomware is likely to cost victims more than $250 billion annually, with a new attack occurring every two seconds.1

Ransomware is increasing – reduce your risk today

Explore what caused the recent spikes in ransomware activity, the new rules of engagement, and how you should respond if you become the victim of a ransomware cyberattack.
