    Orange Cyberdefense Reports Changing Trends in Cyber Extortion and Ransomware

    Ransomware and cyber extortion are not only becoming more common but more damaging to enterprises. As cyberattacks become more sophisticated, often supported by nation-states, they are leading to high-profile and embarrassing releases of customer data. Orange Cyberdefense, which held an analyst event in Antwerp, Belgium, followed a few days later by a customer and partner event in London, England at the end of November 2022, is countering these threats by providing new managed security services offerings, including increased threat intelligence, and supporting secure access service edge (SASE).

It is because business leaders no longer see IT as a cost center but as a strategic driver of growth. As a result, they are giving their IT departments greater resources to help plan for a possible coming recession rather than asking them to tighten their belts.
