This infographic details ransomware attack trends by industry, continent, and more.
Overall, the Lumu flashcard essentially functions as an all-in-one infographic compiling 2020 ransomware trends from an amalgam of sources across the cybersecurity industry.
A portion of the flashcard provides a global view of ransomware attacks based on CyberEdge's 2020 "Cyberthreat Defense Report." In North America, ransomware attacks affected nearly seven-in-10 companies compared to 55% of companies in Asia and Oceania.
Another section of the flashcard breaks down ransomware attacks by industry using Safety Detectives' 2020 "Ransomware Facts, Trends & Statistics" report.
Manufacturing organizations ranked second with 13.9% of companies in this sector reporting a ransomware attack in the last 12 months, followed by the construction industry with 13.2%. On the other end of the spectrum, 4.6% of financial organizations and 5% of education bodies reported a ransomware attack during this time period.
