Ransomware is one of the biggest threats to businesses today. A single attack can bring operations to a standstill, compromise sensitive data, damage customer trust, and result in millions of dollars in financial losses. As evidenced by the attack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) at the end of August 2025, production there has come to a standstill. An economic expert has already told the news channel that JLR itself has lost the equivalent of 140 million in profits and almost two billion euros in sales. These attacks are becoming more sophisticated, targeting organizations of all sizes, and exploiting weaknesses in systems, processes, and even human behavior.
The cost of inaction is high – and recovery is often long and complex. That’s why preparation is critical. By understanding how ransomware works and implementing a comprehensive defense strategy, businesses can reduce risk, respond effectively, and protect both their operations and reputation.
PATECCO’s presentation describes a few practical steps to build resilience – from keeping systems updated and securing backups, to controlling access, monitoring for threats, training employees, testing incident response plans, and adopting Zero Trust principles.
