CISO challenges: Ransomware

The threats associated with cybersecurity have become the principal driver of risk not only to IT functions but to the bussiness as a whole.

Ransomware, because its multiplicity of attack vectors (insider threats, phising, B2B gateways,…), the lowering of the capability barrier for the threat agents that “Ransomware-as-a-Service” represents and the recent destructive strains such as Whispergate; has become the “attack you don’t want to experience”.

Security awareness of the workforce, egress traffic monitoring, backcup policies and a tested BCP are non-negotiable risk mitigation strategies.
