Cyber Security Incidents on the rise

In the past few years, cyber security incidents have increased. According to estimates, cybercrime will cause $7 trillion in damages by 2022. Companies in every industry are becoming increasingly concerned about cybersecurity. This has contributed to an increase in cybersecurity skills gaps that are projected to reach more than 1 million unfilled positions by 2019.

Even though ransomware attacks are becoming more frequent and severe, many organizations are still not taking the appropriate precautions to protect themselves. According to a recent study, only 34 percent of businesses have a plan for dealing with ransomware attacks. Installing comprehensive security software, backing up data regularly, and training employees on how to identify and respond to potential threats are some of the steps that organizations can take to protect themselves from ransomware attacks.

Among the most high-profile ransomware attacks have been those targeting hospitals, schools, and government agencies. For example, in March 2018, Atlanta was victimized by a ransomware attack that caused the city’s computer systems to be unavailable for nearly a full week. Additionally, in May 2017, more than 200,000 computers in 150 countries were infected with the WannaCry ransomware attack resulting in major downtime and millions lost across industries.
