Despite the startling increase in ransomware attacks in the last few months, Neuberger touted the White House's efforts to deal with the crisis, noting that the US government is currently:
1. Disrupting ransomware networks
2. Working with international partners to hold countries that harbor ransomware actors accountable
3. Developing cohesive and consistent policies towards ransom payments
4. Enabling rapid tracing and interdiction of virtual currency proceeds
She added that it was important for the private sector to do its part in addressing the cybersecurity posture of their organizations.
