Cybersecurity lapses are expected to cost the world trillions in lost revenue in 2021. So how has 2021 turned out so far? Here are a few statistics put together by Subex’s research team based on data gathered from public sources.
• Cybercrime has already cost global businesses nearly USD 397 million so far
• The above number includes the cost of breaches in terms of lost revenue and recovery costs, ransom payouts, and cost of data leaked by hackers
• In the first month of the year, while the number of reported breaches came down, the number of successful breaches leading to data leaks has increased by 23 percent
• 15 new families of IoT devices added to those that were breached in 2021
• On the OT side, attacks on ICS and SCADA systems has risen significantly
• 1 new APT actor detected in the Asia-Pacific region
These developments have a bearing on your institutional cybersecurity posture and pose a significant threat to your business. In addition to the threat landscape, there are also internal cybersecurity challenges that will have to be addressed on priority in order to script a coherent institutional cyber resilience narrative.
