Cybersecurity perception gap remains, public safety threatened as cyberattacks spike – WEF
Ransomware attacks increased by 151% in 2021, and there were on average 270 attacks per organisation, or a 31% increase compared with 2020. However, 92% of business executives surveyed say cyber-resilience is integrated into enterprise risk-management strategies, while only 55% of cybersecurity leaders surveyed agree, highlighting a perception gap, global economic organisation the World Economic Forum (WEF) says in its 'The Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2022' report.
