Barracuda researchers identified and analyzed 121 ransomware incidents that occurred between August 2020 and July 2021, and saw a 64% increase in attacks, year-over-year. In addition, the report revealed that cybercriminals are still heavily targeting municipalities, health care, and education.
“Cyberattacks are increasing in sophistication at a pace where most internal IT personnel can’t positively identify the latest methods until it’s too late,” said David Fizer, Managing Partner, Mission Cyber Group. “Today, organizations need a partner whose sole purpose is dedicated to knowing the latest attack vectors and preparing personnel to mitigate risks by decreasing attack services through training, buttressed by constant network monitoring. We are proud to be selected by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to serve them with our time-tested mission-critical services.”
