Kurtis Minder is the chief executive of GroupSense, a US-based company that deals in the prevention of and response to ransomware and other cyber attacks.
His workload has been increasing markedly in the last few weeks, this morning telling Q+A there’s been a “dramatic increase” in the number of ransomware attacks which sees “thousands” of businesses hit every day.
He says they’re usually made by organised groups in Russia and Eastern Europe, which creates another layer of complexity.
