According to the National Cyber Security Center, in 2021 there was a huge increase in the amount of ransomware attacks reported globally. Supply chain attacks increased dramatically, double extortion enabled hackers to export stolen data to separate locations, and unpatched vulnerabilities continued to be one of the most common exploits hackers used to steal data. To top it off, the US Treasury credited $5.2 billion in bitcoin transactions to ransomware. 

Unfortunately, ransomware is showing no signs of slowing down. In the first half of 2021, the average ransom payment was $570,000, which was an 83% increase from the previous year's findings, reported at $312,000. With ransomware on the rise, attacks will continue to infect schools, businesses, hospitals, banks, and government offices, to name but a few. Hundreds of new strains of ransomware continue to flood the internet daily, so how are you supposed to better protect your businesses?
