## Description
Ransomware has become a sustained and significant cyber threat globally,. Victims typically fall to automated, distributed attacks exploiting vulnerabilities in systems, processes and human behaviours. Once inside a network, a criminal may use digital technologies and tools to assess the victim's worth before encrypting and or stealing sensitive data with which to extort the victim. The resultant disruption, recovery costs, and reputational damage can be significant. Preventing initial access, encryption of data, or data exfiltration could disrupt this criminal model.
