Veeam's 2023 Ransomware Trends Report highlights key findings in ransomware attacks, data theft and extortion. Now provider Veeam is also presenting the report in German.
Businesses of all sizes are increasingly falling victim to ransomware attacks and are inadequately protecting themselves against this growing cyber threat. According to new data from the 2023 Veeam® Ransomware Trends Report, one in seven organizations will have almost all their data (>80%) affected by a ransomware attack, indicating a significant protection gap. Veeam Software found that cyber criminals almost always (more than 93 percent) target backups during cyber attacks and manage to compromise their victims' ability to recover 75 percent of the time. This underscores the importance of immutability and air-gapping to ensure backup repositories are protected.

The 2023 Veeam Ransomware Trends Report includes insights from 1200 affected organizations from nearly 3000 cyberattacks, making it one of the most comprehensive reports of its kind. The study examines the key insights from these incidents, their impact on IT environments, and which ones were taken or needed Steps to implement data backup strategies that ensure business resilience. The report looks at four different roles involved in cyber security and/or cyber defenses: security professionals, CISOs or similar IT leadership roles, IT operations generalists, and backup administrators.
Report summarizes 3.000 attacks on 1.200 companies
“The report shows that today it is no longer a question of when a company becomes the target of a cyber attack, but of how often. While safety and prevention are still important, it is critical that any business focus on how quickly they can recover by making their organization more resilient,” said Danny Allan, CTO at Veeam. “We need to focus on effective ransomware prevention by going back to basics, that is strong security measures and testing of original data and backups. Both the continued existence of the backup solutions and the coordination between the backup and cyber teams must be ensured in order to achieve a uniform attitude within the company.”
