Ransomware attacks increasingly force organisations to pay ransom due to the significant impact on operations, data loss, and the fear of reputational damage. Semperis’s Ransomware Risk Report explores the reasons behind the high percentage of businesses making payments, which inadvertently encourages attackers to strike again. By giving in to demands, many companies fall into a dangerous cycle of repeated attacks, becoming easy targets for cybercriminals.
To mitigate this risk, it is critical to adopt an "assume breach" mindset. Organisations must be prepared for potential breaches by investing in robust recovery plans and strengthening cybersecurity measures, ensuring they can respond effectively without succumbing to ransom demands.
In this episode, Paulina Rios Maya, Head of Industry Relations, speaks to Simon Hodgkinson about the reasons behind the high percentage of organisations paying ransoms, the cycle of repeated attacks, and the critical importance of having robust recovery plans.
Key Takeaways:
Paying ransom does not guarantee recovery.Business resilience is crucial during recovery.Recovery plans must be robust and well-tested.Identity management is a critical vulnerability.Dedicated tools are necessary for identity recovery.Recovery time objectives (RTO) need improvement.Purple Knight is highlighted in the report as a key tool in detecting vulnerabilities before attackers can strike. With Purple Knight, organisations can proactively assess their defences, identify weak points, and strengthen recovery plans—helping to break the costly cycle of ransomware payments.

Red teaming is a proactive cybersecurity approach where ethical hackers simulate real-world attacks to test an organisation’s defences. Unlike traditional testing, red teaming mimics sophisticated threats to expose vulnerabilities in networks, systems, and even human factors. This process helps organisations identify weaknesses, strengthen their security posture, and improve their incident response plans to stay ahead of evolving cyber threats.
An important aspect of red teaming is the interpersonal dynamics between the red team and the organisation’s internal teams. Collaboration and transparent communication are crucial to ensuring the exercise remains productive. Maintaining positive relationships during and after the tests fosters trust and encourages constructive feedback, essential for implementing security improvements without creating internal friction.
