NEW Cybereason Study Reveals the Damage Caused by Ransomware Attacks Against Businesses on Holidays and Weekends
Summary
Cybereason, the XDR company, today published results from a global study of organizations that had suffered a ransomware attack on a holiday or weekend. The higher assessment and remediation times stem from the fact that 44 % of companies reduce security staffing on holidays and weekends by as much as 70 % from weekday levels. “Disrupting cybersecurity professionals’ well-earned downtime and interfering with their personal lives takes a toll on their well being, leads to burnout and causes some people to leave the field altogether. Major industry verticals covered in the research include the Technology, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Retail, Healthcare, Automotive, Legal and Government sectors. Only the AI-driven Cybereason Defense Platform provides predictive prevention, detection, and response that is undefeated against modern ransomware and advanced attack techniques.
