Adjust the inputs to estimate what a ransomware incident could cost your organization. The model uses published incident-cost benchmarks adapted for the UAE market.
Excludes ransom payment
Illustrative model using published incident-cost benchmarks. Actual losses vary by controls, insurance, and response readiness.
Total exposure combines operational downtime (lost productivity per employee per day), incident response and recovery (forensics, remediation, and rebuild), and data-breach costs (regulatory notification, potential penalties, and customer churn). A sector multiplier reflects the higher stakes in finance, energy, healthcare, and government. The figure deliberately excludes the ransom itself — paying is rarely advisable and does not guarantee recovery. For a deeper analysis, read our UAE threat landscape report or talk to our team.
