In 2024, ransomware trends include targeted attacks on large organizations and critical infrastructure, the rise of double extortion tactics (encrypting and exfiltrating data), increased supply chain attacks, and mobile ransomware. The use of AI and advanced bots in ransomware attacks is growing, making them harder to detect. Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) continues to democratize access to ransomware tools. To counter these threats, organizations should focus on employee training, robust endpoint protection, network segmentation, regular data backups, and having a solid incident response plan (Acronis) (Proven Data) (Tech Monitor).
