We can rid the world of ransomware attacks to such an extent they are no longer a likely risk vector! It is possible, but we all have to work together.
This is not a sales pitch; in fact, I explain why no product or service can truly deliver us from the tightening jaws of ransomware. This is an exploration of an idea that will deliver all the criteria of success for the world to collaboratively end ransomware!

The upcoming Ransomware Explained video series will help shed light on the strategic aspects of this criminal activity and will spur interesting discussions!
In the coming weeks I will be…
Cybersecurity can appear random and chaotic, but there are basic fundamentals that drive the course of cyberattacks.
In today’s video, I dive into the two biggest factors that shape cybersecurity risks, attacks, and what drives the direction of the security industry.
Understanding the basic underpinnings provides insights into where the next attacks will focus and what will be targeted. They highlight the importance of understanding the people behind the attacks and the opportunities they pursue.
Thanks for watching. Let’s communicate and collaborate together — that is how we make cybersecurity strong in protecting the global digital ecosystem.
