A Look Into Public Clouds From the Ransomware Actor's Perspective.
Traditional ransomware mainly targets on-premises IT infrastructure but doesn't work well in cloud environments, which is one reason we haven't heard much about ransomware in public clouds. However, ransomware actors could adapt their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) to be more cloud native, and now is a good time for organizations to get ahead of this possibility.
Ransomware incidents have severely disrupted business operations across all industries. In 2021, the average ransom demand was $2.2 million, and the average payment was $541,010. Since 2020, researchers have detected at least 130 different ransomware families. There is still no sign of a decrease in the frequency and severity of ransomware attacks.
