Ransomware is a category of malware that gains access to systems and makes them unusable to its legitimate users, either by encrypting different files on targeted systems or locking the system’s screen unless a ransom is paid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the key findings of the India Ransomware Report 2022?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Ransomware incidents<\/b>: Overall, there is a 53% increase in Ransomware incidents reported in the 2022 Year over Year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sector impacted:<\/b> IT & ITeS was the majorly impacted sector followed by Finance and Manufacturing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Ransomware players targeted critical infrastructure organizations and disrupted critical services in order to pressurize and extract ransom payments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Prevalent ransomware variants: <\/b>Lockbit was a majorly seen variant in the Indian context followed by Makop and DJVU\/Stop ransomware.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The RaaS (Ransomware-as-a-service) ecosystem<\/b> is becoming more prominent, allowing even non-technical individuals to launch ransomware attacks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Restoration time: <\/b>Ransomware restoration & recovery time is dependent upon multiple factors like level of infection, affected applications, availability of backups & images, and Business continuity preparedness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 On an average, the restoration time is about 10 days for infections in reasonably large infrastructure networks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recommendations:<\/b> Organizations must level up their capabilities for monitoring and early detection of Ransomware infection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As prevention is better than cure, it is desirable to understand the attack surface and ensure the hardening of all internet-exposed assets and improve security posture to minimize the Ransomware attack probability.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
