Ransomware has become an increasingly prevalent threat to businesses of all sizes. The evolution of ransomware tactics over time has made it more effective and devastating for businesses. And the hidden cost of ransomware is way beyond just paying the ransom.
It has a range of devastating effects like; Double-triple Exhortation, Supply Chain Vulnerabilities, Lack of full data recovery, Weak Security Infrastructure and more. In this article, we’ll explore the current state of the ransomware threat landscape and how Vinca Cyber can help secure your business.
The Ransomware Threat Landscape
Ransomware attacks have been on the rise in recent years, with attackers targeting businesses of all sizes and industries. These attacks use encryption, data theft, and extortion tactics to hold a business’s data hostage. The attackers demand payment in exchange for the decryption key or the return of stolen data.
The costs of ransomware attacks can be significant. In addition to the ransom payment itself, businesses may also face loss of data, revenue, and reputation. Recovery from a ransomware attack can be a lengthy and expensive process. In fact, ransomware cost the world $20 billion in 2021. 37 per cent of all businesses and organizations were hit by ransomware in 2021. Recovering from a ransomware attack cost businesses $1.85 million on average in 2021.
Why Ransomware Attacks Are Effective
Ransomware attacks are effective because they exploit common vulnerabilities in a business’s security posture. Outdated software, weak passwords, and lack of employee training are all factors that can make a business more susceptible to a ransomware attack.
Attackers also use social engineering tactics to trick employees into clicking on malicious links or opening infected attachments. Once the ransomware is installed on a computer, it can quickly spread throughout the network, encrypting files and locking users out of their data.
