Why Ransomware Is Still a Big Deal
Ransomware attacks continue to be one of the most disruptive cyber threats for businesses and government organizations. Recent industry reports show:
– 44% of breaches involve ransomware
– Median ransom payments dropped to $115,000—but recovery costs and downtime remain high

The takeaway? Prevention and resilience matter more than ever.
