SMBs Can’t Afford Ransom
Malwarebytes‘ Brian Thomas said whether to pay the ransom is “something we leave up to the SMBs.”
“I’ll harken back to the percentage — 43% of SMBs don’t even have a plan,” he said. “And that $4.2 million number for a ransomware attack, it’s something that they just can’t afford, especially in the SMB market. So it’s our prerogative to make sure that if they ever are in that situation, that difficult situation to pay, that we have the solution set and we have the services to help them.”
