Ransomware’s Prevalence
Many organizations already recognize and understand the risk that ransomware presents to them. They only need to refer to recent statistics from the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to confirm this threat. From 2018 to 2020 adjusted losses from ransomware attacks increased by 705 percent during that time. These attacks impacted over 2,000 local governments, schools, and healthcare providers in the US alone.
