One of the biggest challenges in the growing digital economy is the exponential rise in ransomware attacks. Consequences can be dire: pay perpetrators to (they claim) unencrypt your data, stumble with decryption tools, or gamble on recovering from backups.

With millions of dollars spent annually to guard entry points to data, many still underestimate the strategic value of augmenting data protection.

Take any given week and research will show that dozens of different organizations had lost data as the result of being attacked. Of course, these numbers are most likely artificially low and only reflect those attacks that were reported. No one wants to advertise that you have exploitable weaknesses in your IT infrastructure.
