Ransomware isn’t slowing down. In fact, 88% of IT and security pros dealt with at least one ransomware attack in the past year. But despite the constant barrage, there’s a twist: many feel more confident than ever in handling these threats.
Connor Jones featured the new Global Cost of Ransomware Study conducted by Ponemon Institute in The Register article, Security pros more confident about fending off ransomware, despite being battered by attacks.
The research revealed that ransomware is still rampant, but fewer security teams think their organization is a target. Only 64% believe they’ll be hit, down from 68% in 2021. Even worries about supply chain risks (56% vs. 75% in 2021) and data leaks (52% vs. 73%) are dropping.
