ITProPortal: Many businesses remain painfully ill-prepared for a ransomware attack

Most businesses are still painfully ill-prepared for a ransomware attack, with many suffering from misplaced confidence in their cybersecurity posture. 

This is according to a new report from email security and cyber-resilience company Mimecast, based on a survey of 700 cybersecurity professionals worldwide, which states that less than half (45 percent) have file backups that would allow them to avoid having to pay the ransom, or enough budget to fund state-of-the-art data security systems.
