Protect Your Business from the Growing Ransomware Threat
Ransomware attacks have reached unprecedented levels in 2024, with cybercriminals targeting businesses of all sizes across every industry. The average recovery cost (excluding ransom payments) surged to $2.73 million in 2024, though this has since decreased to $1.53 million in 2025. Don’t let your business become another statistic. Rekall Tech’s comprehensive ransomware protection services provide multi-layered defense strategies designed to prevent, detect, and respond to ransomware threats before they can damage your operations.
The Ransomware Crisis: What You Need to Know
Alarming Statistics That Demand Action
The numbers are staggering:
- Over 72% of global businesses were affected by ransomware attacks as of 2023 (Statista)
- 65% of financial services organizations were hit by ransomware in 2024 (Sophos)
- The average recovery cost (excluding ransom) reached $2.73 million in 2024, though this decreased to $1.53 million in 2025 (Sophos)
- Approximately 46-49% of organizations pay ransom demands in 2025, down from higher rates in previous years (Sophos 2025)
- Global ransomware damage costs are predicted to exceed $275 billion by 2031 (Cybersecurity Ventures)
Small businesses are particularly vulnerable:
- Average cost of a data breach for small businesses: $120,000 to $1.24 million (PurpleSec)
- Recovery can take weeks or months, causing devastating business interruption
- Many small businesses lack adequate cybersecurity measures and incident response plans
What is Ransomware?
Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts your business-critical files and systems, making them inaccessible until a ransom is paid to cybercriminals. Modern ransomware attacks often involve:
- Data encryption – Critical files become completely inaccessible
- Data exfiltration – Sensitive information is stolen before encryption
- Double extortion – Attackers threaten to publish stolen data if the ransom isn’t paid
- Supply chain targeting – Attacks spread through business partners and vendors
- AI-powered attacks – Sophisticated automation makes attacks more effective

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can ransomware spread through my network?
Modern ransomware can encrypt files and spread across networks within minutes. This is why real-time detection and automated response capabilities are critical.
Should I pay the ransom if attacked?
Law enforcement agencies strongly advise against paying ransoms. There’s no guarantee you’ll receive decryption keys, and payment encourages more attacks. Focus on prevention and recovery capabilities instead.
How often should I back up my data?
Critical business data should be backed up continuously or at least hourly. Less critical data can be backed up daily. All backups should be tested regularly to ensure they can be restored.
Can ransomware affect cloud-based systems?
Yes, ransomware can encrypt cloud-stored files if the attacker gains access to your cloud accounts. This is why cloud-specific security measures and backup strategies are essential.
How long does it take to recover from a ransomware attack?
Without proper backups and response plans, recovery can take weeks or months. With comprehensive protection and response capabilities, recovery can often be completed within hours.
What compliance requirements apply to ransomware protection?
Requirements vary by industry, but most regulations require data protection, incident response plans, and breach notification procedures. We help ensure your protection meets all relevant compliance standards.
