[Fortinet] Ransomware: The Number One Cyber Threat to Enterprises
Ransomware continues to be one of the most damaging and disruptive cyberattacks, while for cybercriminals, encrypting networks and demanding an exchange for the decryption key is the easiest way to quickly make a large amount of money. Cybersecurity is no longer just an IT problem, but also a business problem and organizations are realizing this the hard way. With one wrong click, users can provide complete access to their organization’s confidential files, giving attackers the opportunity to use ransomware to halt operations and disrupt production.
Jonas Walker, Security Strategist at FortiGuard Labs, and Daniel Kwong, Fortinet Field CISO, provide insight into today’s current ransomware trends, the ways in which they are impacting businesses, and how enterprises can get ahead of the risk with a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy.
