The Real Cost of Ransomware Is What Cripples the Business

A new analysis reveals that financial executives significantly underestimate ransomware expenses, typically by a factor of ten or more. The article examines the actual cost calculation methodology and explains why standard risk assessments fail to capture the true financial impact of ransomware incidents.

Why it matters: CFOs and security leaders need to recalibrate ransomware risk valuations in their risk registers today, as current estimates may understate exposure by an order of magnitude and inform inadequate resource allocation for prevention and response.
