The Ransomware Task Force was created in 2021 to bring together government, private industry and civil society to create strategies to fight cybercriminal gangs extorting organizations. This year has been challenging with rising attacks, but Megan Stifel of the Institute for Security and Technology says progress is being made. In this edition of Studio 471, Megan discusses the future of the Ransomware Task Force, whether ransom payments should be banned and how organizations are strengthening baseline security.
