According to cybersecurity firm Sophos, about 59 percent of law enforcement organizations also found the process easy.
Only 7 percent said the process was very difficult.
"The high rate of Indian organizations seeking law enforcement assistance for ransomware attacks indicates a positive change in the country's cybersecurity landscape," said Sunil Sharma, vice president of sales, Sophos India and SAARC.
“The upcoming DPDP Act, to be implemented in July, will further strengthen these efforts by encouraging transparency and facilitating collaboration between the private and public sectors in combating cybercrime,” he said.
The report surveyed 5,000 IT decision makers from 14 countries, including 500 respondents from India.
Affected organizations reached out to law enforcement or official government bodies for various types of assistance in dealing with ransomware attacks.
According to the report, 71 percent said they received advice on how to deal with ransomware, while 70 percent received help investigating the attack.
Of those who had their data encrypted, about 71 percent received help from law enforcement to recover their data from the ransomware attack.
“While improving collaboration and working with law enforcement after an attack are all good developments, we need to move toward preventing those attacks before we treat the symptoms of ransomware,” said Chester Wisniewski, Field CTO Director at Sophos. "
