Ransomware blocks access to computer systems or data until a ransom is paid. This cyber threat is becoming increasingly common and devastating for businesses, with an average payment demand of $8,100 per infection in 2020. The downtime costs businesses even more, with an average of over $280,000 per attack.

No enterprise or organization is immune to ransomware attacks, and the most common industries targeted include government, manufacturing, construction, utilities, retail, real estate, healthcare, education, and financial institutions.
