Phishing Persists as the Prime Ransomware Delivery Method
The connection between phishing and ransomware remains as strong as ever, with phishing serving as the primary attack vector for ransomware delivery. The success of this approach is evident from recent data provided by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, which revealed that a startling 80% of organizations had at least one employee fall victim to a simulated phishing attempt.
Ransomware continues to plague organizations of all sizes, across various industries and geographic regions. Despite 78% of business leaders believing they are well-prepared to defend against ransomware, half of them fell prey to ransomware attacks in the past year.
