The threat level from cyberattacks has risen exponentially over the past few years—and even more so in the past few months!
Ransomware attacks are becoming more frequent and more damaging as attackers evolve their tactics to exploit new vulnerabilities introduced by the sudden change to how and where we work. Ransomware attacks that once were little more than an inconvenience have morphed into debilitating security crises capable of impacting operations of major cities like Atlanta and multinational corporations like Garmin.
Cleanup efforts after ransomware attacks cost businesses more than $75 billion a year, including an average of $65,645 per incident in downtime-related costs alone. But cleanup and downtime aren’t the only ways companies end up paying for ransomware infiltration.
Maze and other ransomware gangs have moved away from simply encrypting company files until a ransom is paid. Their latest tactics include publicly exposing the stolen company and user data, often regardless of whether the ransom is paid or not. Data breaches can cost companies millions of dollars in regulatory fines and penalties as well as identity repair and monitoring for affected users. And don’t forget the hit your reputation takes after a successful ransomware attack.
Our unpredictable global business environment is contributing to the rise in cyberattacks and, unfortunately, matters are unlikely to improve soon.
Cybercriminals are constantly looking for easy entry into company networks, and today’s workplaces provide an increasingly broad attack surface. Many employees are working from home—often on personal devices—without adequate security infrastructure and with added distractions that could lead them to accidentally click a malicious link or attachment.
Even beyond the risk of having exponentially increased the number of remote endpoints, companies are dealing with mass employee movement out of, into, and within the organization, including layoffs, furloughs, hiring, and role changes.
