The threat posed by ransomware
How badly is the German economy affected by cyberattacks using ransomware? What makes companies vulnerable and how do they react to ransomware attacks? The Alliance for Cyber Security examined this in a public survey.
The Alliance for Cyber Security conducted an online survey among German companies between April 13 and 21, 2016. In the end, 592 data records were analyzed. Computer&AUTOMATION shows the results in a series of images plus the additions of security expert David Lin from software company Varonis Systems.
The Alliance for Cyber Security is a joint initiative of Bitkom and the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). It aims to bring together all key players in the field of cyber security in Germany to share their experiences.
