Cybereason’s latest report RansomOps: Inside Complex Ransomware Operations and the Ransomware Economy aims to give decision makers a better understanding of ransomware attacks and how to protect your organizations from cyber-attacks.
Key findings from the report include:
1. Prominence of double extortion
backups may help victims recover encrypted information, but won’t prevent an attacker from leaking their stolen data online.
2. Prevalence of cyber insurance payouts
Businesses have resorted to cyber insurance as a failsafe against financial losses but fail to realize that the insurance is often insufficient, with many loopholes for coverage. Cyber insurance is now a conduit for infusing monies into the illegitimate software market of ransomware.
3. Increasingly complex attack sequences
Legacy security measures have fallen short with the rise of complex attack sequences in national-state sponsored attacks.
