True but beefier cybersecurity defenses would prevent the attacker from getting access in the first place.

Maybe countries should focus on beefing up their cybersecurity defenses. Ransomware is easy to avoid if you have proper backups.

With ransomware it encrypts your files and you have to pay to get the key. If you have backups you can just restore to the latest backup before the files were encrypted.
