Security News > 2021 > July > Kaseya attack: How ransomware attacks are like startups and what we need to do about that
Marc Rogers: The Kaseya ransomware attack should be a wake-up call to all of us.
SEE: Kaseya attack shows how third-party software is the perfect delivery method for ransomware.
It's almost as if they learned from the SolarWinds style of attack to get as many people as possible down the chain and applied it to ransomware and got as many as possible.
We really need to go back to thinking about how we trust our supply chains to make sure that this kind of ransomware attack can't happen again, because it's devastating.
The other side of it is kind of another strong call out to policymakers that ransomware as a scourge is really getting out of hand and we need to take a much more proactive stance on how we deal with it.
Marc Rogers: The only other thing I would say is the ransomware task force put out a report suggesting how industry and government could work together to collaborate in attacking this threat.
