"A Review of the
Ransomware Threat Landscape”
Moderator: Shannon Vavra, CyberScoop Panelists: Jen Miller-Osborn - Unit 42 | Philip Reiner, Executive Director of the Institute for Security
and Technology’s Ransomware Task Force | Michael Daniel - President and CEO, CTA
From 2019 to 2020, cybercriminals got greedier and richer with ransomware.
The average ransom payment nearly tripled (from $115,123 to $312,493), and the highest ransom payment (from $5 million to $10 million) and demand (from $15 million to $30 million) each doubled.
This session discusses how the private and public sectors can work together to curb the rise of ransomware.
