The ransom amount is increasing dramatically and the average ransom ask per incident is more than US $ 10 million . A total of 8 % of the incidents had a ransom ask of less than US $ 10 million and 14 % of the incidents had a ransom ask of greater than US $ 30 million .

All of us in the security industry have an obligation to turn sophisticated technology into products and services that can be easily consumed by customers .”
