Abstract

Ransomware is a volume crime, and one that is very quantifiable. Cyber insurance likes the quantifiable risks, with a large body of actuarial data, to be confident about sustainably financing solutions. However, those profiteering gluttons always try to turn a profit! How much profit?

To find out, we would need to see what a not-for-profit model of ransomware looked like. So, we tried to imagine one and fill in the values.

Come, see how an economic model can be built from real-world data on ransomware!
