It might over time. If I was deploying ransomware, the first thing I would do after receiving a ransom payment from a company would be to try them again in a month or two.

Now they know their security is crippled, there is no way the patched all holes (system, process, operations) in such a short notice, and we know they can be blackmailed and pay big money. The only way to mitigate this risk is actually walk the walk (implement appropriate security controls).
