75 percent of organizations affected more than once by ransomware

Quick Summary:

A new report from SpyCloud finds that Ransomware is seen as the biggest cybersecurity threat across every industry, with 75 percent of organizations affected by ransomware more than once in the past 12 months -- a jump from 61 percent in 2023.

Based on a survey of 510 individuals in active cybersecurity roles within organizations in the US and the UK with at least 500 employees, the report shows some industries are more at risk than others, with insurance firms 6.3x more likely to experience a ransomware attack and healthcare 2.1x more likely.

While there is universal agreement that more needs to be done to address the infostealer problem, the research does demonstrate that organizations are making progress.
