Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that ransomware will cost the world $265 billion annually by 2031. While there is no way to completely “beat” ransomware, companies can take significant steps to prevent attacks and minimize damage when they occur.
Employee training plays a pivotal role in ransomware mitigation, as human error is one of the most common entry points for cyberattacks, according to a guest TechSpot blog post written by Pure Storage, a publicly traded tech company dedicated to enterprise all-flash data storage solutions.
Educating employees about ransomware risks and tactics empowers them to act as the first line of defense. Integrating this type of training into a broader ransomware mitigation plan ensures that your workforce remains vigilant and prepared, reducing the likelihood of successful attacks and strengthening your organization’s overall security posture.
