Ransomware is a fast-growing threat impacting organizations of all sizes, across all industries. Earlier this month, national security authorities in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia issued advisories warning that the threat of ransomware has become increasingly globalized and that cybercrime groups are diversifying the types of businesses they’re targeting. The FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) received 2,084 reports of ransomware attacks in the first half of 2021 alone – a 62% increase over the previous year, and representing more than $16.8 million in losses. Some experts predict that ransomware damages will grow to $265 billion by 2031.
