They were right. When [Chainalysis](https://www.chainalysis.com/blog/ransomware-2024/)  released their annual Crypto Crime report it highlighted that ransomware gangs had come back with vengeance, seeing a 100% year on year increase in payments, totalling over $1.1billion in 2023. #### ![1-1](https://info.saepio.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/1-1.png?width=547&height=68&name=1-1.png) The ransomware landscape is not only prolific but continually expanding.  It doesn’t discriminate, Fortune 50 or 5 employees, it’s important to be aware and prepared. For that reason, Saepio are running an event along with CrowdStrike, Varonis and Druva, to provide insight on the latest ransomware attack techniques and provide recommendations on the steps organisations should take to protect themselves. Come along to hear insights from Saepio experts and three leading cyber security partners at AWS offices in Holborn on 20th June, 2pm. After the presentations, we’re moving to the next door pub, for food and drinks, and to watch the Euros match between England and Denmark which kicks off at 5.00pm.   ![agenda](https://info.saepio.co.uk/hubfs/agenda.png "agenda") [Register your interest](https://info.saepio.co.uk/06-ransomware-2024-key-insights-and-solutions#form) ## Free Insightful Takeaway ![the-state](https://info.saepio.co.uk/hubfs/the-state.png "the-state") ![download2](https://info.saepio.co.uk/hubfs/download2.png "download2") #### ![22-1](https://info.saepio.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/22-1.png?width=547&height=34&name=22-1.png)Double- and triple-extortion ransomware attacks, including data exfiltration, DDoS threats, threats to release customer data, and direct contact with customers, were observed by a significant percentage of organizations.  #### ![33](https://info.saepio.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/33.png?width=547&height=34&name=33.png)Only 29% of organizations have a strict no-payment policy for ransom negotiation, while 33% decide on a case-by-case basis and 10% may pay if critical operations are affected. #### ![44](https://info.saepio.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/44.png?width=547&height=34&name=44.png)Less than half (48%) of respondents feel confident in their organization's readiness to respond to a ransomware attack. ## *"Saepio are my go-to for all security projects.
