The Ransomware Epidemic
Ransomware attacks cost businesses over $20 billion globally in 2025. Attackers now use double-extortion tactics: encrypting data and threatening to leak it publicly.
Defense-in-Depth Strategy
- Immutable Backups: Store backups offline and in air-gapped systems unreachable by ransomware.
- Email Filtering: Block phishing payloads before they reach inboxes using advanced sandboxing.
- EDR Solutions: Deploy Endpoint Detection and Response to kill ransomware processes before encryption completes.
Recovery Planning
A tested incident response plan cuts average downtime from 21 days to under 5. Run tabletop exercises quarterly and validate backup restoration monthly.
