And that’s largely because, when their data is being held hostage, businesses tend to pay to get it back.
“Probably 60-to-70 percent of the entities that have to deal with this end up paying,” says Rogers, who is currently a senior fellow and adjunct professor at the Kellogg School of Management.
In part one of this special two-part series, The Insightful Leader speaks with Rogers about how organizations can better guard themselves against a cyberattack. In part two, we’ll discuss how to react when all your defenses fail and the enemy has entered your network.
[Editor’s note: we spoke with Rogers about what the invasion of Ukraine means for cybersecurity. You can find that interview here.]
Note: The Insightful Leader is produced for the ear and not meant to be read as a transcript. We encourage you to listen to the audio version above. However, a transcript of this episode is available here.
