That's a step in the right direction, but we need more.
If you're critial industry and get ransomwared there should be hefty fines for everyone involved from the top down.

Companies will start moving when getting ransomwared due to low security standards is a major impact on your financials and not like some "put 50k aside for data hostage situations".
