We Asked 100 Security Leaders About Ransomware. Their Answers Surprised Us.

A survey of 100 Chief Information Security Officers found that while many express confidence in their ransomware defenses, actual success rates remain low and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tool effectiveness is declining. The study indicates that artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities are increasingly favoring attackers over defenders.

Why it matters: Security leaders need to reassess ransomware preparedness, EDR deployment effectiveness, and AI-driven attack trends to ensure their organizations' defenses match their confidence levels and address the shifting threat landscape.
