"Managed Pentesting Using Breach & Attack Simulation: Ransomware Case Study" by John Snyder
Abstract
Ransomware simulation and mitigation is likely to be the element of MPT that even companies with limited security awareness find most compelling.

But it may give those providers a different kind of security: cash-flow security.
