2020 brought a surge in online activity as many people started working from home and shopping exclusively online due to COVID. More time spent online has generated new cyber security challenges, and these online vulnerabilities are being preyed upon by bad actors.
Common criminal schemes, such as counterfeit charities, false COVID-19 information, and holiday-themed emails, have been particularly effective this year. In the absence of corporate cyber governance, criminals have had greater success obfuscating malicious emails or malware using tried-and-true social engineering strategies.
As if 2020 wasn’t challenging enough, check out these latest cyber-attack statistics:
- 26% of high-net-worth family offices with assets over $100 million in the United States experienced a cyberattack.
- C-level executives were twelve times more likely to be targeted in social incidents and nine times more likely experience social media breaches than in years past
- Cybercrime is estimated to cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021
- The average time to identify a breach was 206 days
- The average time to contain a breach was 73 days
- The global average cost of a data breach is $3.9 million
- The country with the highest average total cost of a data breach was the United States at $8.19 million
