520 $a The importance of this research is highlighted by the growing epidemic that is ransomware. It can be used as a valuable reference tool for business owners and executives alike; as well as a reference for IT departments trying to keep current with ransomware trends. Recommendations for future research were made including continued education and awareness for employees, strict policy enforcement, and the development of business continuity plans for businesses. These were made in an attempt to educate the target audience in the prevention of ransomware. Lastly, the research concluded that more must be done to prevent and mitigate ransomware attacks.
