A company is hit by a ransomware attack every 40 seconds, with an average attack costing businesses a whopping $1,40,000. And in 2017, global ransomware damages reached a staggering $5 billion.

Once a buzzword, ransomware has now become a key security threat for companies worldwide. Not only does ransomware paralyze your file system and encrypts all your data, but it also asks you for a ransom to retrieve your data. Worse, companies don’t know whether they will get their data back or not even after paying the ransom.

For businesses worldwide, the risks are even worse. The colossal WanaCryt0r outbreak was the biggest ransomware attack in the Internet’s history, freezing hospital staff out of grave data and disrupting operations of companies in 150 countries.
