Fortinet recently commissioned a global survey of organizations of all sizes on their experiences related to ransomware. The report covers a wide range of related issues and there are multiple findings that stand out as worthy of deeper discussion.
One key takeaway is that whether you pay a ransom or restore your systems from backup, it is essential to have the teams and technologies in place to identify the initial point of entry as well as the full scope of the incident to reduce the risk of recurring ransomware incidents. Of course, this can be difficult, as today’s campaigns are often multi-stage, multi-component, multi-outcome efforts.
