HOLIDAY RANSOMWARE CRISIS

 

Threat actors increasingly target weekends and holidays for ransomware attacks--striking when there are fewer people available to detect or respond to the attack.

Our latest research reveals that weekend and holiday ransomware attacks often take longer to mitigate and result in longer recovery times and greater loss of revenue. Most cybersecurity professionals are concerned about attacks during the holidays, but many are not prepared to respond if it happens.
