Organizations hit by ransomware attacks can suffer several types of losses.
A report released Tuesday by Infrascale illustrates how SMBs are faring at defending themselves against ransomware.
Based on a survey of more than 500 C-level executives at SMBs, Infrascale's report found that 46% of the respondents have already been hit by ransomware attacks.
Most of the SMBs said they do feel prepared for a ransomware attack.
Some 32% of SMBs said they have limited time to research ransomware mitigation solutions.
