Ransomware remains one of the most costly and disruptive cyber threats today, and it’s only escalating. Attackers are evolving with more sophisticated tactics, making attacks increasingly profitable and damaging. The financial burden extends far beyond ransom demands: enterprises face prolonged downtime, privacy violations, compliance penalties, and lasting reputational damage.  According to IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, ransomware incidents now average $5.08 million each, with 63% of victims refusing to pay the ransom. Yet recovery costs remain staggering, often leaving enterprises crippled for weeks.
