Stronger Ransomware Protection Finally Pays Off
HelpNet Security, Friday, October 13,2023
60% of companies are 'very' to 'extremely' concerned about ransomware attacks, according to latest research from Hornetsecurity.
Businesses acknowledge ransomware risk
Hornetsecurity revealed that 92.5% businesses are aware of ransomware's potential for negative impact. Still, just 54% of respondents said their leadership is 'actively involved in conversations and decision-making' around preventing such attacks. 39.7% said they were happy to 'leave it to IT to deal with the issue'.
'Our survey is a timely reminder that ransomware protection is key to ongoing success. Organizations cannot afford to become victims -ongoing security awareness training and multi-layered ransomware protection is critical to ensure there are no insurmountable losses,' said Daniel Hofmann, CEO of Hornetsecurity.
