According to Reuters, up to 1,500 businesses were affected by ransomware attacks last year. Another report by the Institute for Security + Technology found that the total amount paid by ransomware victims increased by 311% in 2020, reaching nearly $350 million worth of cryptocurrency.

How can companies prepare to safeguard from ransomware attacks?
