Take part in this ransomware survey & Win an Oculus Rift S VR!
Ransomware is no joke. Cybercriminals extort millions of dollars from companies all over the world, and it has become the most prominent form of online cyber attack. Since 2016, there have been 4,000 daily ransomware attacks on US organizations. And it’s only getting worse, especially in the past year.
This is why the email security and backup experts at Hornetsecurity are running a survey to understand exactly how organizations are responding to the threat, and whether what’s being done is enough to keep the would-be hackers at bay.
If you’re an IT admin, work for an MSP, or have a role in taking IT related decisions in your organization, you should definitely take part in their 5 minute survey. By participating, you’ll be helping the good guys gather essential information, and you can find out whether your workplace is ahead of the security curve, or lagging behind.
Besides, they’re also giving away an Oculus Rift S VR worth $399 to one of the respondents!

Your individual answers will be completely confidential and no identifying information will be shared with third parties.
