Welcome to DBD. After a successful launch, we remain hard at work in developing PRiSM, our Ransomware Research Portal, which has been well received across multiple organizations, leading to some unexpected, but very welcome, partnerships. If you haven't already taken a look at PRiSM, we think you will find it a useful analysis tool. Thanks again for all your support, it is very much appreciated. Stay safe. :)
