Ransomware attacks are increasingly targeting organizations rather than individual endpoints, resulting in double or triple extortion tactics.

Security and risk management leaders need to look beyond just endpoint security controls to protect against ransomware.

In How to Prepare for Ransomware Attacks, Gartner® shares the key vulnerabilities organizations must prepare for:

• Bad actors are mining exfiltrated data to find new sources of revenue
• The cost of recovery, downtime, and reputational damage may be higher than the cost of the ransom itself

Then, read on for Gartner® recommendations for combating these vulnerabilities.
