KnowBe4 launches a no-cost resource kit to help organisations fight the staggering impact of ransomware<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>KnowBe4, the provider of the world\u2019s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, announced the release of a resource kit for IT managers as part of a month-long effort in July to increase awareness of ransomware, its many forms and methods used by cyber criminals to extort funds. Some of the resources for download include a Ransomware Master Class, Ransomware Rescue Manual, infographics, posters, digital signage and more.<\/p>\n

Ransomware is a type of malicious attack where attackers encrypt an organisation\u2019s data and demand payment to restore access. This has evolved to include the exfiltration and threatened exposure of valuable information, compounding the extortion. <\/span>This is one of the many ways bad actors take advantage of the human element in cybersecurity, which is involved in 82% of cyber attacks according to Verizon\u2019s 2022 Data Breach Investigations Report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Globally, ransomware costs are escalating from a reported<\/a> $325 million loss in 2015 to a potential of $265 billion in 2031, making it one of the most predominate and dangerous forms of cyberattacks. In 2021, the FBI\u2019s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)<\/a> received a record number of 847,376 reported complaints with potential losses exceeding $6.9 billion. This has led to multiple warnings by government agencies, including the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) heralding<\/a> ransomware as a prime threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no question ransomware attacks will continue to be a major threat to organisations,\u201d says Stu Sjouwerman<\/span>, CEO, KnowBe4. \u201cIT teams face a critical challenge, as technology alone is not enough to prevent attacks. Humans are an easy target via phishing and other forms of social engineering and continue to dominate as a primary source of infection. A vital addition to the security stack is to strengthen users as a last line of defence.\u201d<\/p>\n
