Of all IT threats, ransomware is undoubtedly one of the most serious, as it presents victims with a real dilemma: pay up or lose their data for good.
Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts a user's or an organization's data, making this information inaccessible on their computer until a ransom is paid. Today, hackers are exploiting the many capabilities of artificial intelligence to customise and automate their attacks, making ransomware ever more sophisticated and, above all, very difficult to detect.
