Have we become numb to the news of security breaches? Unfortunately, the attacks on our businesses, personal lives and even global infrastructure are not slowing down. Cybercrime is up over 600% during the pandemic. According to Verizon’s 2021 Data Breach Investigation Report, 61% of cyberattacks targeted credential theft. This far surpasses personal, banking and payment card information which have been primary targets for years. The cybersecurity industry has responded with a variety of ways to protect sensitive data with regulations, technology, and awareness, which has forced attackers to look for easier targets, such as usernames and passwords.
Today, data is likely your most valuable and vulnerable strategic asset, and yet many of the methods for storing and protecting it are decades old. Data is not only a record of what has happened; it can also be used to anticipate the future and train machines to make human-like decisions in an instant. It has become a fungible and strategic asset that drives key processes.
Cybercrime is on the rise and the current global pandemic has only made it worse. As remote work numbers grew from February to April of this year, so did ransomware attacks. In March 2020, ransomware attacks increased 148% over baseline levels from February 2020, according to one report. Financial services organizations were the most heavily targeted during that time, yet no industry is immune.
