As ransomware attacks increase, more companies are paying the ransom to retrieve precious data.

At the micro level, companies are not prepared for an attack and will likely conduct a cost-benefit analysis to decide whether they will pay.

As cybersecurity becomes more widely accepted across the executive and board level, CISOs will face a more complex range of responsibilities and pressure to protect their company from emerging threats.
