OpenText announced a report which provides in-depth analysis, market insights, trend data, and predictions for what lies ahead as organizations move toward strengthening their cyber resiliency posture in the face of ever-increasing cyberattacks and cyber warfare.

Last year, phishing attacks escalated across email, text, and other communications platforms and new high-risk malicious URLs were found hiding behind proxy avoidance and anonymizers.

"Businesses' ability to prepare for and recover from threats will increase as they integrate cyber resilience into their technologies, processes, and people," said Mark J. Barrenechea, OpenText CEO & CTO. "With security risks escalating worldwide and a persistent state of 'unprecedented' threats, compromises are inevitable. This year's findings reiterate the need for organizations to deploy strong multi-layered security defenses to help them remain at the heart of cyber resilience and circumvent even the most creative cybercriminals."

Key highlights Phishing and impersonated companies 770% overall phishing activity spike during the month of May 2021.

Malware 86.3% of malware is unique to a single PC; consistent YOY. 83% of Windows malware hides in one of four locations, noting that %appdata% saw a 46% decrease from the prior year, and %desktop% saw a 40% increase from the prior year.

"Cyber resiliency is a top proactive priority for organizations worldwide," said Craig Robinson, IDC Program Director, Security Services.
