The general belief that a cyber breach is a matter of 'if' not 'when' means all organisations potentially face the highly unwelcome prospect of being infected by ransomware, with critical data and operational capabilities only being released following payment to the attacker.
Handling a ransomware attack calls for the enterprise to weigh up the value of the seized assets and determine the most viable course of action to limit cost and aid speedy recovery.
Even when an organisation has paid the demand, there is no guarantee that the attackers will honour their side of the bargain, meaning victims may not regain access to their data at all...
In addition, evidence suggests that paying a ransom doesn't protect organisations from being targeted again - if anything, it makes it more likely.
