World Business | Ransomware risks & IMF signals

As global finance leaders meet in Washington for the IMF Annual Meetings, World Business takes a closer look at a fast-rising threat beyond the balance sheets — ransomware.

With attacks increasing across industries, new cybersecurity guidance now urges companies to prepare offline, ensuring that business operations can survive even when networks are compromised.

In this episode, Guy Shone examines how organisations are turning to tested backups, manual procedures, and practical continuity plans to protect against digital paralysis.

He also explores why cyber resilience is becoming a strategic asset in a world of economic uncertainty, trade volatility, and financial fragility.

From boardrooms to small enterprises, preparedness in the digital age is now as vital as the fiscal policies debated at the IMF this week — only on World Business.
