ThreatLabz found that ransomware attacks increased by 17.8% year-overyear based on blocked attempts in the Zscaler cloud, while ransomware attacks identified through data leak site analysis surged by 57.8%. The findings presented in this report underscore the need for organizations to prioritize protection against the relentless tide of ransomware. The insights and strategies in the report serve as a crucial guide for improving your ransomware defenses.

The report is based on the findings of an independent, vendor-agnostic survey commissioned by Sophos of 5,000 IT/cybersecurity leaders across 14 countries in the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific. The research reveals that investing in cyber defenses to optimize your insurance position is a double win: organizations report both easier and cheaper access to coverage as well as wider benefits such as improved protection, fewer alerts, and freeing up IT time. This finding further emphasizes the importance of considering cyber risk investments holistically, rather than as individual components.

The fifth Sophos annual study of the real-world ransomware experiences of manufacturing and production organizations around the globe explores the full victim journey, from root cause to severity of attack, financial impact, and recovery time. Fresh new insights combined with learnings from our previous studies reveal the realities facing businesses today and how the impact of ransomware has evolved over the last five years.

This report delves into the depths of cyber risk management, unearthing the critical coverage gaps that threaten organizational stability in the wake of cyberattacks. In an era where digital threats loom larger than ever, businesses are increasingly turning to cyber insurance as a safeguard against the financial ravages of data breaches.

Our annual survey is an opportunity to see where teams are succeeding with DevSecOps and where they might be struggling. Second, by capturing trends and movement in this market, we hope to give software development teams — from individual contributors to executives — insight into how to get the most out of their DevSecOps investments. This year’s survey respondents offered their views against the backdrop of a growing set of macroeconomic influences.
