Another article I wrote for the Financial Times on the consequences of paying the ransom in a ransomware attack

Written by Jimmy Blake

Many organisations think that using insurance payouts to pay a ransom is the end of their problems, in this article I wrote for the Financial Times I lay out the reasons why it could be the start of even more costly, often unforeseen, problems.

The perspectives shared here are my own, based on practitioner experience in cyber resilience and incident response, and do not necessarily represent the official views or positions of my employer.
