Ransomware is expected to cause $42 billion in damages by the end of 2024 and Healthcare & Life Sciences and Banking & Financial are the most targeted industry in 2023 and 2024. An attack hits every 14 seconds worldwide putting every organization at risk, with escalating scope and volume. What is worse, roughly 50% of ransomware attacks now include attempts to steal data.

As per one Gartner report, by 2025, 60% of companies will use Zero Trust solutions instead of virtual private networks, emphasizing "never trust, always verify". This year, we'll see even more significant growth in adopting Zero Trust solutions. One of the key predictions for the future is that hackers will target areas not covered by Zero Trust.  Zero Trust is a foundational strategy that maximizes an organization's chances of mitigating the damage a ransomware attack might cause. Zero trust is based on the principle of least-privilege access and the idea that no user or application should be trusted inherently. Sounds simple right? But what does zero trust truly mean, and how can HCLS companies ensure its proper implementation?
