Ransomware: Understanding the Threat and Mitigating the Risks

Ransomware has rapidly become one of the most pervasive and dangerous threats in cybersecurity. Organizations of all sizes and sectors have been targeted, resulting in financial losses, data breaches, and significant operational disruptions.

This type of malware is designed to encrypt or lock an organization’s data, holding it hostage until a ransom is paid, usually in cryptocurrency. In this paper, we will explore how ransomware works, the evolution of ransomware tactics, notable incidents, and the strategies that organizations can adopt to mitigate the risks.
