Ransomware has become the premier weapon of choice for cybercriminals to launch cyber attacks, cause disruption and generate significant revenue. While some argue that ransomware attacks are slowing down, the data shows otherwise. A recent report by SonicWall shows that nearly 100,000 ransomware attacks are happening per day in 2018. This is a whopping 25 times higher than the previous number of 4,000 attacks per day that was reported by the FBI in 2016.

Mitigating risk and creating a competitive advantage also top the list of anticipated outcomes.

Or better yet, whether that technology helps them grow revenue or make better bottom-line decisions.
