Malware that targets mobile devices. A cybercriminal can use mobile malware to lock a smartphone or steal sensitive data from it before requesting payment to release it or restore the data to the owner. Through social networking tricks, consumers have occasionally unintentionally downloaded mobile malware while they thought they were downloading critical applications or innocent information.

ThreatNG provides ransomware susceptibility assessment and monitoring. Assessing an organization's susceptibility to ransomware is crucial for managing its external attack surface, digital risk, and security ratings. Both prior experience with a ransomware event and understanding the nature of the attack can provide valuable insights into the flaws and vulnerabilities that attackers exploit, the potential impact of future assaults, the risks associated with third-party vendors, and how to improve the organization's reputation as a reliable business partner.

This knowledge can also help evaluate the attack's consequences, control third-party risk, and increase security ratings. By adopting a proactive security strategy, organizations can mitigate the risk of ransomware attacks and reduce the potential impact of any attacks that may occur.
