Cyber-criminals are innovating at a phenomenal pace in this growing ‘industry’ because they have the funds to do so. In fact many cyber-criminal groups have more funds than most enterprises.
The disruption these attacks are causing to businesses is huge with billions of dollars’ worth of revenue being lost due to system outages caused via ransomware attacks.
Research has shown that a 41% increase in attacks has occurred since the beginning of 2021 with a staggering 93% increase year over year.

1. Phishing emails that launch ransomware attacks via inline links, links in attachments, or fake attachments.2. Browsing unknown links and websites.3. Downloading and accidentally running infected software.4. Inserting or connecting an infected disk, disc, or drive.5. Operating system based vulnerabilities if the OS is not patched to the latest levels.6. Plugin based vulnerabilities if plugins are not patched to the latest levels.7. Infrastructure vulnerabilities (network, storage etc.) if not patched to the latest levels.
