It used to be that we would only have to worry about losing all of our data if we suffered a massive system crash. Now, the fear of having your information held hostage by threat actors demanding payment is just as common. Since paying the ransom is no guarantee that all of the data will be recovered and remediation costs can be thousands of dollars, one would almost prefer a system failure.

Watch cybersecurity experts Bob Erdman, Security Product Manager at Fortra, and Holger Schulze, CEO and Founder of Cybersecurity Insiders, discuss motivations and perpetrators of attacks, who is at the highest risk, and the most effective solutions to this pervasive problem to help you better understand ransomware and reduce the large threat it poses.
