A dental health insurance company was breached and ransomed, but because they didn't pay, the data got leaked. I suppose if the crooks are going to ransom a company over it's data a health insurance company seems like a pretty good bet. They've got lots of money and I don't think they can arbitrarily pass on the additional cost to their customers.

Too many people, especially decision makers in companies, engage in magical thinking when it comes to security software. They think you just have to "have" it or that it just has to be "active" in order to get the security benefits from it. It doesn't work that way. Security isn't a technology problem, it's a people problem, the technology is just a tool to help the people fighting the security threats.
