Cynthia Kaiser, formerly with the FBI, shifted her focus to ransomware after recognizing its immediate threat to critical infrastructure and healthcare. She leads Halcyon Ransomware Research Center, which aims to combat ransomware, a growing issue that cost American businesses and consumers nearly $155 million last year.
