The growing threat of cyber adversaries loomed over organizations throughout 2021, and it shows no signs of slowing down as we enter March 2022.
As teams continue to work from home or test out hybrid work models, their security frameworks have often been insufficiently protected against sophisticated cyberattacks. Nation-states, organized crime syndicates and other cybercriminals have capitalized on this opportunity, using a variety of methods to exploit weaknesses in organizational systems. This resulted in 61% of organizations that fell victim to a ransomware attack in the last two years being forced to pay the ransom, and by October 2021, publicly reported data breaches had already surpassed the total for 2020.
