Gartner® Report - How to Prepare for Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware threats are evolving, and organizations must adapt to stay secure. We believe the Gartner’s 2024 report, “How to Prepare for Ransomware Attacks”, provides crucial insights for Security and Risk Management (SRM) leaders to defend against these growing threats.

We feel this report highlights:

  • The rise of extortionware:
    Attackers are increasingly using encryption-free, data theft tactics to demand ransoms.

  • Key infiltration methods:
    Phishing, remote attacks, and unauthorized remote desktop connections remain the primary entry points for ransomware.

  • High recovery costs:
    Post-attack recovery expenses can be ten times higher than the ransom itself, factoring in downtime and reputational damage.

Learn how to strengthen your organization’s defenses with a robust pre-incident prevention strategy, advanced detection measures, and effective post-incident response plans.
