Attackers aren't slowing down; in fact, ransomware attacks are almost ubiquitous.

In nearly every case, the victim had already been compromised by one or more threats on the way to becoming a ransomware victim.

To protect against ransomware, organizations need to lay the security foundation that will help them fight all threats.

Sophos just released its annual State of Ransomware Report, which found that the impact of a ransomware attack is immense, with nearly triple the amount of organizations being hit have paid more than $1M in ransom - have we reached the height of ransomware?

It's impossible to know if we've hit peak ransomware until we're on the other side of it, and there's no reason to suspect that ransomware is going away any time soon.

How can real-time, human-led threat hunting help organizations stop ransomware attacks in their tracks?
