Although cybercrime as a whole has seen a rise during the pandemic, arguably ransomware has been one of the more successful and lucrative attack types. Our own research report, the State of Encrypted Attacks Report 2020 , found that there had been a 500 per cent rise in ransomware compared to 2019. Security hygiene is the best defence.

As technology advances at speed, it enables just as many opportunities as it introduces threats. The average data breach lifecycle is still too lengthy, malware variants are growing by 45%, and although ransomware attacks were lower than last year, ransom payments are rising as more companies are prepared to pay out than ever before.
