Ransomware and IoT Attacks

Data Breaches and Ransomware are responsible for theft and loss of intellectual property and data, which cost companies millions of dollars annually. Intellectual property (IP) theft costs US businesses more than $250 billion each year and global ransomware damage costs are predicted to reach $20 billion by 2021, up from the $325 million in 2015.
