Browser security is the key to stopping ransomware attacks

Ransomware attacks increasingly use evasive tactics to bypass security measures. Insufficient browser security is a significant factor in successful attacks. Today, more complex “double extortion” methods are used that hit victims multiple times and pressure them to pay ransoms to avoid public exposure of data breaches. Studies indicate that over 75% of workday usage occurs within web browsers, making them prime targets for hackers. It is suggested that improved browser security can help combat ransomware attacks by increasing visibility of web-based workloads.
