Market Leader - Ransomware Protection Market
Ransomware protection refers to the set of security solutions deployed by organizations to safeguard themselves against ransomware threat. Ransomware is a type of sophisticated malware that is designed to block access to a computer system or encrypt the data unless a ransom is paid to the cybercriminal. The attacker encrypts the victim’s data and demands payment for the decryption key. Ransomware can be spread via suspicious emails with malicious attachments, infected programs, and compromised websites. To protect against such predominant threat, organizations are looking forward towards a multi-layered security approach to defend, prevent, and respond to ransomware attacks. MarketsandMarkets forecasts that the ransomware protection market size is expected to grow from USD 8.16 Billion in 2016 to USD 17.36 Billion by 2021, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.3% during the forecast period.
