Many businesses face cybersecurity challenges every day, and staying updated with the latest developments over the past year has become increasingly difficult. In recent years, we’ve seen a massive surge in company data, processes, and infrastructure, shaping new cybersecurity trends. The advantages are clear—faster time to market, increased efficiency, cost savings, and greater flexibility.
This report explores key cybersecurity trends and strategies that help businesses minimize data breaches and other potential threats.
Noteworthy Hacking Statistics You Must Know
Did you know that in 2023, the average cost of a data breach hit a record high of $4.45 million? According to IBM, this is the highest average ever recorded. No wonder 51% of companies plan to increase their security budgets—focusing on incident response planning, staff training, and advanced threat detection to stay ahead of cyber threats.
Ransomware attacks are getting even more costly. Global ransomware damages, which stood at $20 billion in 2021, are projected to skyrocket to $265 billion by 2031. With damages increasing at an estimated 30% per year, it’s predicted that by 2031, a ransomware attack will occur every two seconds—a huge jump from every eleven seconds in 2021.
Cybersecurity Ventures also highlights that with the rise of digital businesses, IoT devices, and growing cyber threats, global spending on cybersecurity is expected to reach $1.75 trillion between 2021 and 2025.
