To Pay or Not to Pay: How Could Ransomware Laws Affect MSPs?
Anything goes in a war. According to technology and security experts, the ongoing battles with cybercriminals are escalating exponentially and are rapidly turning into “no holds barred” situations. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, the cost of ransomware incidents worldwide is expected to top $265 billion by 2031. To business owners −whether tech-savvy or naïve – those rapidly growing threats should be frightening.
The Top 8 Myths About Ransomware
With 24/7 news cycles and an overabundance of social media streams, the flow of information available on the internet is mind-boggling. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the reports, suggestions, and “facts” shared through those forums is questionable, at best. The truth often gets distorted by opinions or through the loss or changing of certain elements of the stories told over and over again.
Why Ransomware Protection is the New IT Standard
Cybersecurity is big business today. For the criminal element, hacking and ransomware delivery high-return and relatively low effort activities and the significant rise in revenue is fueling increasingly more aggressive and costly attacks.
What Happens When MSPs Get Hit with Ransomware?
The “worst-case” scenario is no longer unexpected in the channel. MSPs are increasingly on the receiving end of the cybersecurity attacks that they spend so much time and money trying to stop for their clients. With so many variables (human error is at the top of that list) and possible entry points for cybercriminals and their wares, just one simple mistake or lapse in judgment can literally destroy your reputation. A successful ransomware attack could decimate your business.
