Ransomware Explained - How to Reduce Exposure

Ransomware is one of the most devastating challenges in cybersecurity today. The attacks are vicious, expensive, impactful, and becoming commonplace. In the news, they can seem to be random, even chaotic, and are often crippling to the victim and their downstream customers and services. Unfortunately, ransomware is rising quickly. Some estimates show over a 65 percent rise in the past year!

Over the years I have predicted its rise, discussed why it is so challenging, debunked myths like blaming cryptocurrency as a cause, and even strategized how undermine ransomware at it roots!

But today, I want to dive deeper into the tactical side of things and explore what ransomware is, how attacks typically unfold, and what potential victims can do to reduce their exposure and protect themselves.
