Should companies ever pay ransomware demands, or is it better to pursue alternative solutions?
Paying ransomware demands can further incentivize cyber criminals and may not guarantee that the data will be recovered. It is generally recommended for companies to avoid paying ransom and instead focus on preventive measures such as regular backups, robust cybersecurity protocols, employee training, and seeking the assistance of cybersecurity professionals to mitigate and recover from ransomware attacks.
