Rapid7 Senior Director of Threat Analytics Christiaan Beek joins the Nexus Podcast to discuss the technical evolution and economic models that maintain ransomware's viability among threat actors. Ransomware became a for-profit threat more than a decade ago and has progressed into the No. 1 threat facing many critical infrastructure organizations. 

In this episode, Beek covers extortion characteristics, the stealthiness of some attacks, and how the future may include hardware-based ransomware that maintains indefinite persistence.
