2022 Ransomware Trends Executive Brief

1000 organizations share insights on combatting ransomware. We polled IT leaders in organizations that suffered a ransomware attack in 2021. Our survey focused on the impact within their environments, as well as their IT strategies and data protection initiatives moving forward. a second survey was conducted where respondents had to have experienced at least one cyberattack in 2021; while most actually experienced at least two attacks over that period. One of the most alarming statistics from these 2021 cyberattacks was the fact that organizations acknowledged that they were only able to recover 69% of their data.

Overall, these results revealed at least three key areas of discovery:
• The effectiveness and pervasiveness of bad actors
• Key attributes of a successful remediation strategy
• Opportunities for improvement between the teams responsible for proactive prevention and reactive remediation
