Ransomware poses an existential threat to organizations of all sizes in any vertical. This book provides an overview of the ransomware economy, including the threat that this complex attack ecosystem poses to organizations, and reveals how you can best prepare to be resilient in the face of this threat and remain operational. It also explains how ransomware operators don't just encrypt systems and data and then ask for a ransom payment. Instead, they first steal sensitive data and use it for additional leverage to compel payment. For many organizations, exposure of customer data has regulatory implications that can lead to lawsuits and fines. Don't let this happen to your company.
