CIOs responsible for safeguarding their organization’s digital infrastructure are being forced to recognize a hard truth: as ransomware tactics evolve and utilize advanced AI capabilities, traditional cybersecurity measures—while necessary—are increasingly and easily bypassed by the ransomware attacks, according to Ray Kafity, Vice President – Middle East, Turkey & Africa at Halcyon, in an opinion piece published by ITP.net.
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that global damages from ransomware will surpass $265 billion annually by 2031.
To protect their organisations, CIOs must consider adding dedicated anti-ransomware platforms that offer advanced detection, multi-layered defense, and resilient recovery solutions to their security mix. As ransomware continues to evolve, so too must the tools we use to defend against it—before it’s too late.
