Ransomware is the Scoreboard

The report reviews large-scale ransomware activity observed by Recorded Future (~13k victims, hundreds of ransomware families) and argues defenders must shift from static checklists to continuous, intelligence-weighted graph modeling of attack paths (CTEM/BAS/agentic validation). It highlights groups like Interlock and RansomHub, explains how identity/configuration-based attack paths evade traditional vulnerability lists, and recommends continuous attack-path recomputation and choke-point remediation to reduce ransomware risk.
