The question is, why? Why not spikes in any number of advanced enterprise data breaches? Why not an avalanche of other malware or more advanced forms of fraud? Why is ransomware, in particular, exploding?
The answer is found in the destructive synergy between a world plunged into chaos and ransomware’s unique profit model. Digging into the specifics of ransomware attacks and building our understanding of why this mode of criminality is a perfect fit for the weaknesses imposed on enterprise IT by the pandemic, can teach us a lot. Specifically, what steps businesses and their CompTIA-certified cybersecurity pros will have to take to harden their defenses, keeping enterprise systems and employees alike, safe from exploitation.
And these same users whose computers are not appropriately secured are no longer protected by perimeter security that would knock out obvious ransomware emails or block traffic to sketchy websites. The most successful criminals always go with what’s easiest first, and with a world of panicked people computing from insecure environments, making money via ransomware suddenly got way easier. In other words, more unprotected endpoints means more opportunities.
