The threat of ransomware is still – unfortunately – alive and well. According to a 2018 study by SentinelOne, their survey of decision makers working in IT and risk, fraud or compliance functions found that six in ten (56%) reported that their organization suffered a ransomware attack in the last 12 months - compared to under half (48%) who said the same in 2016.1 While financial and healthcare organizations are often targeted, history has proven that no organization is immune from attack. The monetary costs to these organizations is bad enough, but they also risk suffering even bigger hits to their reputations (wouldn’t you think twice before
trusting them with your personal data?).
