Why R3? #### **Why is This Technology Vital? - Ransomware is a Leading Global Threat.** Ransomware is an ever-growing threat to thousands of organizations and businesses worldwide. The US has been experiencing 4000+ attacks every day for several years, and the damages are growing exponentially. In 2015, it is reported that ransomware attacks caused $325 million in damages, and that amount increased to $5 billion by 2017 and $20 billion in 2021.  The threat shows no mercy, targeting businesses, organizations, and governments of all sizes. The median ransom in 2021 averaged $170K and the rise of mega-ransoms hit an all-time high at $40 million.  #### **Nubeva Helps Organizations Solve for the Shocking Cost of Recovery** The big cost to companies and businesses comes during the recovery phase of ransomware attacks. As reported by Forbes, the current average cost to recover from a ransomware attack is $2 million, making the cost 10X the price of the ransom itself. While it is encouraged never to pay the ransom, upwards of 70% of victims end up paying the criminals with the hopes of recovering. ##### Share this post - - - ![](https://www.nubeva.com/hubfs/Nubeva_January_2019/images/x.png) ## Get Started How we can help?
