Provides additional time for investigators to explore non-ransom recovery options while documenting insights to inform the response strategy.
A 2023 study reported by Computerworld found that 63% of companies hit by ransomware pay the ransom, despite having a "no-pay" policy. This aligns with other reports, such as the Verizon DBIR 2023 (62%) and the Sophos State of Ransomware 2023 (46%).
While the figures vary, the trend is clear: Many companies choose to pay the ransom because the financial, legal, operational, and reputational damage caused by an attack often outweighs the cost of the ransom.
However, organizations should be aware that arranging a cryptocurrency payment can take longer than expected. According to those who have experienced the ransomware nightmare, it is advisable to have payment arrangements pre-established in your cyber incident response plan.
Such prior arrangements can help speed up recovery if paying the ransom is the least detrimental option.In these situations, authorities and insurers typically provide no assistance, leaving company leadership to navigate the crisis alone. This is where Eagle Shark Cyber Defence steps in, helping to guide informed decisions and assess the full financial impact of a cyberattack.
