Webinar: The latest insights on Barracuda's new ransomware report

Although the first recognized ransomware attack is agreed to have taken place in 1989, ransomware didn’t establish itself as a significant part of the threat landscape until 2011 with the emergence of WinLock.

Once it found momentum, ransomware became a favorite attack mode. And ever since then, it has continued to evolve and adapt to maintain its position one of the most costly and pervasive types of cyberthreat.

That’s why Barracuda makes it a priority to track and analyze ransomware trends around the world, to develop some of the intelligence that drives our development roadmaps for security platforms and solutions.

Barracuda’s 2023 Ransomware Insights report came out recently, based on a survey of 1,350 organizations around the globe and representing many industries. It’s packed with data, broken down by industry, geography, and much more.

Get the details at a new webinar

At an upcoming webinar featuring Barracuda Director of Product Marketing for Email Protection Olesia Klevchuk and Principal Product Marketing Manager for Data Protection Anastasia Hurley, you can get up to speed on significant ransomware trends based on the experiences of your global peers — including what they’re doing to protect themselves.

It’s the kind of information that can help you choose strategies and allocate resources more effectively when building your organization’s protection against ransomware. Olesia and Anastasia will cover all the eye-opening findings from the report. Here are just a few examples:

• 73% of respondents report falling victim to a ransomware attack in 2022.
• 38% of respondents were hit more than once during the year.
• Respondents with cyber insurance were more likely to be targeted.

And they won’t just be sharing the numbers in the report. They’ll also explain the underlying conditions that are driving these trends, from the spread of more sophisticated attacks to the nature of the underground market for ransomware kits and services.

Steps to get protected against modern ransomware

As digital transformation expands your attack surface, ransomware and other evolving threats are constantly finding sophisticated new ways to exploit emerging gaps and vulnerabilities. Staying ahead of cyber crooks means a constant process of evaluating and adjusting your security posture across multiple areas.

At the webinar, Olesia and Anastasia will provide a detailed account of everything organizations need to do when building a comprehensive, multilayered anti-ransomware infrastructure.
