Scareware pretends to be virus detection software and locks or overburdens your computer with pop up windows, effectively leaving it useless until you pay to have the "virus" that the software claims to have discovered removed.

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.
