Chicago Daily Law Bulletin - onShore Security CEO Stel Valavanis's piece on the future of ransomware and the peril of paying ransoms ran in to the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin on December 31st, 2020.
"I’m beginning to think we should ban ransom payments to criminals or at least disallow insurance to cover them. I know that sounds extreme, but hear me out. It’s worth exploring at this time, as the scope of the problem is growing in the wake of COVID-19. According to a new report by Emisoft, ransomware demand costs could reach new highs this year, exceeding $1.4B in the United States in 2020."

In 2020, with COVID-19, remote working becoming the norm, and all the vulnerability that goes along with unexpected change, it is more important than ever to make smart choices, turning potential threats into opportunities.
