Tripwire, Inc., a leading global provider of endpoint detection and response, security and compliance solutions, today announced the results of a survey of over 220 information security professionals who attended Black Hat USA 2016. The FBI has reported that ransomware attacks amassed over $200 million during the first three months of 2016, signaling that cyber criminals are on track to gain over $1 billion through ransomware by the end of the year. Tripwire asked the same question at both RSA Conference 2016 and Infosecurity Europe 2016, finding thirty-eight percent and thirty-two percent of respondents were very confident they could do so.”]
