Needless to say, Geyer has a lot to say about the threat ransomware poses to OT, ICS and critical infrastructure.

How to prepare for the future of ransomware risk management.

Infrastructure and industrial companies have to face facts: Whether it's government regulation or the aftermath of a ransomware attack, protecting OT and ICS networks is a priority now.

"We're seeing an uptick in attacks on critical infrastructure because attacks are working. Until we recognize that EDR and EPP are going to miss attacks, we will continue to be subjected to more malware and ransomware," said Illumio's VP of product management, Matt Glenn.

OT, ICS and critical infrastructure networks can be huge, and it's easy for people to be paralyzed into inaction, Geyer said.

Whether it happens now or in the next several years, the ransomware risk management calculus is changing.
