Tip 3. Staying alert is your first line of defense against ransomware attacks online.
If there’s one thing to learn from last week’s $50M Apple ransomware attack, it’s that no company is safe from hacking groups determined to tap into your data. If a company as big as Apple can be hit, any company of any size can be a potential target.
The stats don’t lie – cybercrime is on the rise and ransomware is here to stay.
- a business will fall victim to ransomware every 11 seconds in 2021
- ransomware will cost businesses $20B in 2021 alone
- global cybercrime damages will cost $6 trillion
