Ransomware Explained - Increasing Costs and Impact

Ransomware risks are skyrocketing with increasing costs, more attacks, and greater impacts that are expanding to affect everyone!

It is a growing threat to organizations and national critical infrastructures connected to the Internet.

This is the first in a series of videos on Ransomware. I cover the growth, costs, critical impacts, and why paying ransoms is such a bad idea.

The Ransomware Explained video series will help shed light on the strategic aspects of this criminal activity and will spur interesting discussions!
