A study from Sophos has found that over a third (34%) of cyber security professionals have experienced feelings of guilt for failing to prevent a ransomware attack.

The current State of Ransomware report also found that 41% of respondents were experiencing increased anxiety or stress over the possibility of future attacks.

The impact of ransomware attacks on cyber security teams will be discussed at a webinar on 3 October at 10am by TechCentral.ie in association with Sophos.

“At a time when we are experience a severe shortage in cyber security professionals it makes sense that teams come under incredible stress during a ransomware attack,” said webinar moderator and editor of TechCentral.ie Niall Kitson. “During our webinar we’ll be looking to share common experiences and come up with some strategies to make sure teams can be held together after a successful incident response.”
