Understanding the Ransomware Ecosystem
Show Notes

Beyond the success of its impact, a lucrative criminal ecosystem has been developed for ransomware. This has seen ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) creating an ecosystem utilizing multiple players, while the concept of double extortion has emerged, which involves exfiltrating data from victim organizations and publishing teasers about these breaches on the dark web.


In this new edition of the Tenable Research podcast, we talk with senior staff research engineer Satnam Narang about a new white paper which explores the working of this ecosystem, how it works and what the economics of the model are.
