More Ransomware Regulation
Through 2025, 30% of nation-states will pass legislation that regulates ransomware payments, fines and negotiations, Gartner said. That’s up from less than 1% in 2021.
Modern ransomware gangs now steal data as well as encrypt it. The decision whether to pay the ransom is a business-level decision, not a security one. Gartner recommends engaging a professional incident response team, as well as law enforcement and any regulatory body before negotiating.
