HardenStance is pleased to release a new New White Paper - "Adjusting to a New Era in Ransomware Risk" - sponsored by Cyber Threat Alliance Juniper Networks Resilience Insurance and Security Scorecard

Executive Summary

• Changes in ransomware business models, new government interventions in the market, and more expensive cyber insurance premiums, should drive an urgent review of cyber risk exposure and cyber security posture relative to ransomware.
• There had already been a steep increase in ransomware risk leading up to February 24th, 2022. Russia’s fateful invasion of Ukraine has ratcheted up the risk still further.
• This new era in ransomware risk points to a need for organizations to prioritize reviewing ransom payment policies; cyber attack response plans; cyber insurance policies; operational security with MSP partners; and RDP security policies.

Always happy to take feedback. #ransomware
