RANSOMWARE

Explore our latest Information Risk Insights Study (IRIS): Ransomware, supported by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which delves into this critical and evolving threat. This in-depth analysis captures the significant impact of ransomware over the past five years, offering a comprehensive breakdown of incidents that have compromised over a billion data records and resulted in financial damages totaling approximately $270 billion. With this report, we provide pivotal insights and expert analysis, equipping organizations with the knowledge to navigate and mitigate the ransomware menace effectively.

Ransomware remains a dominant force in the cybersecurity landscape, inciting significant concern across industries. Regular headlines underscore the catastrophic effects of these attacks, underscoring the vital need for robust defenses and informed decision-making. Our report aims to transform the prevalent fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) into a proactive stance of awareness, preparedness, and resilience. By presenting clear, data-driven insights, we guide organizations from uncertainty to strategic, informed action.

We are excited to offer a detailed exploration of more than 14,000 ransomware incidents, revealing patterns and insights that are crucial for understanding this pervasive threat. The forthcoming pages will detail these findings, providing a nuanced view of the risk ransomware poses and showcasing the steps organizations can take to fortify their defenses.

We were honored to share original intelligence on ransomware techniques to support such an important study for Cyentia and CISA. As the ransomware threat has grown, so too has the amount of data related to ransomware targeting and operational behaviors, to the point where tracking it all can challenge even well-resourced security teams. The current ransomware landscape features both well-established and emerging ransomware groups and TTPs, making prioritization essential. The data & insights provided in this report will help defenders inform this prioritization in line with today’s most relevant ransomware threats & techniques.
