Cyber Attacks Continue to Rise

The number of significant cyberattacks has increased by more than 50% in the last 3 years. There were 67 significant cyber incidents worldwide from January to October 2018, as compared to the 41 incidents that were recorded in 2016. Hackers are becoming smarter and supported by better technology and connectivity, just like the rest of the world. This leads to more success rates in cyberattacks but also better success rates in the really significant cyberattacks that have a high impact. We expect this statistic to keep rising in the future. If there ever was a time to fortify your sensitive information, it is now.
