Abstract

The article discusses the importance of preventing ransomware attacks by designing software that is resilient against common cyberattacks. It emphasizes that software manufacturers have the ability to build products that are secure enough to prevent compromises. The article also highlights the need for businesses to push software manufacturers to prioritize security. It suggests that preventing vulnerabilities at the design stage is more cost-effective than dealing with the aftermath of a hack.
