Tighter targeting will make ransomware more risky

Significance

Increased remote working has created new attack surfaces while complicating incident response by affected entities.

Impacts

• The line between state-linked and private cybercriminals will blur in non-democratic countries.
• Health organisations will remain the top targets for cybercriminals until the pandemic is brought under control.
• Smaller organisations and state-level governments face rising cyberinsurance needs.
