Ransomware Recovery Firms Share in the Hacking Spoils

If your business or your local school district is hit with a ransomware attack, where hackers disable computer networks and demand money to restore them, you can turn to a nascent yet professionalized group of insurers, lawyers, and incident response firms that can help with response and recovery. Think of it like a pro football team.

Insurance carriers are the quarterbacks of the industry. They help clients reduce exposure to cybersecurity risks before an attack, and coordinate responses to get business assets back after attacks.
