Over 57% of organizations faced a ransomware attack in the past year, with 31% being targeted multiple times. Ransom payments occurred in 32% of cases, rising to 37% for repeat victims. Pressure to pay ransoms was evident, with threats directed toward partners and employees. Despite ransom payments, 41% of victims did not recover all data. Basic security measures are lacking, as seen with only 47% using email security solutions. Disconnected security tools contribute to vulnerabilities, highlighting the escalating threat of ransomware.
According to Barracuda Networks' Ransomware Insights Report, 57% of organizations fell victim to a successful ransomware attack in the last 12 months, with 31% of victims affected more than once.
Many ransomware victims lack basic security, with only 47% using an email security solution, for example, compared with 59% of non-victims.
The findings make it clear that ransomware is an escalating threat, and fragmented security defenses leave organizations immensely vulnerable.
Too many victims are juggling an unmanageable number of disconnected tools, often introduced with the best intentions to strengthen protection.
