John, with the frequency of ransomware attacks steading increasing and 59% of organizations hit with attacks last year, ransomware is one of the topmost concerns for CISOs today. Recovery is costly and it goes well beyond the ransom payment. Cost of downtime alone, excluding ransoms paid and reputational damage, is $43.2 M on average. Disruption to businesses could include shutting down of critical city services or hotel reservations not going through after an attack. It takes on an average 22 days to recover which is too long a time for a business to be impacted.
