State of Ransomware for 2022 and Beyond
A look into insider threats, blame culture, and zero trust.
Cybersecurity professionals around the world are currently facing adversity on all fronts. After operating through a global pandemic, the industry emerged in the midst of accelerated digital transformation initiatives supporting the move to the cloud. Since then, the exacerbation of the ransomware crisis means that security teams are now under enormous pressure to keep up with the increasing complexity of threats both externally and internally, overcome blind spots within their hybrid IT infrastructure and adhere to stringent cyber insurance requirements.
This concoction of challenges has meant that 59% of IT managers are expecting their organizations to experience a ransomware attack in the next 12 months. Yet only 4% are very confident that they are prepared for it, and 85% are worried they will face professional ramifications if the business were to be disrupted by ransomware.
