Ransomware has evolved from a threat primarily targeting individual users into a serious risk capable of paralyzing large enterprises. Today, organizations of all sizes can become victims of ransomware. Allan Liska, a senior security architect at Recorded Future, points out: "In every industry we track, ransomware attacks are on the rise."

Amid a global health crisis and economic fluctuations, ransomware attacks remain persistently active. Because small organizations, hospitals, municipal agencies, and school districts are stretched thin in terms of time and resources, ransomware has found a niche market, continuously eroding the security defenses of critical infrastructure.

In this series of reports, we aim to clarify the scale, scope, and impact of ransomware attacks on businesses. The content includes data collected and analyzed by Cybersecurity Dive, as well as an examination of the threats faced by small organizations.
