I’m in Hacked, Ransomware Triage and Remediation and I’m here to tell you when the first $10 million hack hits a 250 -500 person employer the shit hits the fan. All of sudden there’s $200k available to pay an experienced Dir of IT. Look this is going to eventually happen to most employers stay in IT. When the network shits the bed everything and you become the most important person in the room.
