IFF Assessment
FOE
The increased targeting of European organizations by ransomware gangs represents a growing threat to businesses and their data.
Defender Context
Defenders in the EU should anticipate a rise in ransomware activity and reinforce their defenses against common attack vectors, including supply chain compromises. It is crucial to ensure robust backup strategies, incident response plans, and employee training to mitigate the impact of potential attacks.
