Ransomware attacks have become increasingly common in recent years, targeting organizations of all sizes and industries. The consequences of a ransomware attack can be devastating, with organizations losing access to critical data and systems and even facing financial losses and reputational damages.

ESG surveyed 620 IT and cybersecurity professionals personally involved with the technology and processes associated with protecting against ransomware attacks at mid-market (100-999 employees) and enterprise (1,000 or more employees) to connect the dots between those organizations that feel most prepared and the specific strategies and plans they are using to get there.

Ransomware attacks continue to rise not only in frequency, but in complexity and cost as well. It's time to transition to a cyber-resilient approach to ensure always-on service.
