Ransomware has, much like other criminal enterprises in the cyber realm, verticalized and developed an entire ecosystem designed to operate with efficiency and scale. Ransomware continues to evolve and organizations that fail to plan for an attack are setting themselves up for catastrophic failure.
Ransomeware targets organizations of all sizes. Confidence in cloud infrastructure and platform services (CIPS) security continues to grow. “Cloud-first” strategies are now common, even among risk-averse organizations; however, execution remains impeded by a lack of necessary skills and tools to ensure secure deployment. In a recent Gartner survey, the most commonly cited challenge to cloud adoption was gaining security team approval and support for cloud migration strategies, suggesting that security teams are struggling to adapt to increasingly complex cloud technologies.
