As we rely more on technology to conduct business, ransomware has emerged as one of the most pervasive and dangerous cyber threats. Once a niche concern, ransomware attacks have escalated in frequency, sophistication, and impact, posing a serious risk to individuals, small businesses, and even national security.

Every second that passes without a coordinated, rapid response significantly escalates the risk and amplifies the potential damage.
