Ransomware payment ban proposed, what does it mean for your organisation?
The UK government’s latest ransomware proposals aim to shield businesses and public services from ransomware attacks that cost the economy billions annually. These proposed new measures aim to target the financial lifelines of cybercriminals by banning ransomware payments from public sector bodies and critical national infrastructure organisations, such as the NHS, local councils, and schools. The government’s approach also includes mandatory ransomware incident reporting to bolster law enforcement’s ability to disrupt criminal networks.
