The risk of cyberattacks has increased in the last year.

The findings come from Trend Micro's biannual Cyber Risk Index report, which measures the gap between respondents' cybersecurity preparedness versus their likelihood of being attacked.

The current global index stands at -0.42, a slight increase on last year which indicates an "Elevated" risk.

"To lower cyber risk, organizations must be better prepared by going back to basics, identifying the critical data most at risk, focusing on the threats that matter most to their business, and delivering multi-layered protection from comprehensive, connected platforms."

Global organizations gave it a 6.77, ranking it as an elevated risk on the index's 10-point scale.

Respondents identified customer turnover, lost intellectual property and disruption or damages to critical infrastructure as key operational risks for organizations globally.
