Gigamon has announced new findings from its Ransomware Defence research, commissioned and conducted by Gartner Peer Insights. The survey of global IT and InfoSec leaders across North America, APAC, and EMEA found that 96 per cent of InfoSec professionals consider endpoint detection and response (EDR) to be the most important tool in their arsenal against ransomware. Yet only 4 per cent of global respondents are very confident they are prepared for an attack, and many anticipate major business disruption as a result.
