Also $76,000 is oddly low... like low enough to be the price of a well established firm to do a pen test on your network...
- davinic 7y agoTrue, but managers also usually fail to account for the time and cost of remediation after a pentest. Had the city engaged in the pentest, would there have been an appetite to spend 10-20x that amount on remediation?
- NullPrefix 7y agoPaying the ransom doesn't cover the need to spend money on fixing the problems. Having a ransom payer mark on the organization raises the security requirement, doesn't it?
- magashna 7y agoFor personal ransomware, the requests are average around $250, lower than you'd think.
