As evidenced in recent years by the 2020 SolarWinds attack, the 2021 Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, and an overall 105% increase in ransomware attacks last year alone, cybercrime is on the rise and evolving. It is no longer an “if” occurrence, but a “when.” Companies, of any size, should be prepared.

Beyond implementing necessary technical and risk mitigation efforts, a comprehensive communications strategy is critical to business resilience and security in the event of a cyberattack. Not only does effective communication support immediate crisis needs, it can also mitigate long-term reputational damage.
