We surveyed over 300 system administrators regarding ransomware, here are the results:
88% expect ransomware to increase the rest of the year
Only 16% feel their current solutions are very effective, while 72% feel they are somewhat effective
88% consider Security Awareness Training the most effective protection from ransomware over 81% for backup
47% feel email attachments pose the largest threat
Email and spam filtering effectiveness dropped from 88% to 64%
Confidence in endpoint security dropped from 96% in January to 59%
Thise numbers don't look good!
An effective way to defend agains ransomware attacks is through providing end-users with security awareness training.
UPDATE: If you think these numbers are bad, just take a look at the results of our 2016 Ransomware Threat Concerns survey.
