The Ransomware Menace

Ransomware is a concern across all industries.  High-profile attacks make headlines and cause substantial disruptions. The reason these attacks are successful is often inadequate monitoring and a broad attack surface. Many organizations fail to implement best practices such as multi-factor authentication (MFA), change management, and proper access controls. This lack of stringent security measures makes it easy for attackers to use social engineering to walk in through the front door, gain a foothold, and deploy ransomware.
