Ransom-War is on the rise. High-profile attacks against strategic government targets are becoming
increasingly severe and intense. Governments are attractive targets due to their valuable data, large
budgets, and critical infrastructure. To combat this menace, governments must implement effective
preventive measures. It's time for governments to take a stand and protect their digital fortresses from
acts of Ransom-War.
