The long road ahead to ransomware preparedness
Getting to the bigger truth
The ransomware threat is a top-of-mind issue for so many organisations; however, few feel totally prepared for an attack. Without an industry reference architecture or blueprint for ransomware protection, organisations are building their own strategies and processes to respond.
But with ransomware protection included with so many different security and data protection solutions, many are confused about the scope of what is to be included, who is responsible for the implementation, and who needs to be involved in the conversation.
In order to connect the dots between those organisations that feel most prepared and the specific strategies and plans they are using to get there, with an eye on defining best practices, download this survey for insight from IT and cybersecurity professionals personally involved with the technology and processes associated with protecting against ransomware attacks.
