Monday Afternoon Insights: Battling Ransomware and Data Extortion As we kick off a new week, the persistent threat of ransomware and data extortion remains a critical issue. The 2023 Cybercrime Report by the Bundeskriminalamt (BKA) highlights a worrying increase in these types of attacks, underscoring the need for robust defenses. Ransomware remains a primary cyber threat, with damages from data extortion surging by 50.5% to 16.1 billion euros in 2023.

The new Cyber study of digitalswitzerland et al. for Switzerland is out: There is still room for improvement (in German we would say: 'Es gibt noch Luft nach oben'). Some of my highlights from the report: -Swiss companies are in general rather confident vs. the risk and with respect to their cyber capabilities -Organisational cyber security measures- including having an emergency plan in place- are not yet standard -There are still way too many people using the same passwords for multiple services online If you want to pick your own highlights, here is the link to the study: https:/ /cyberstudie.ch/ #Cybersecurity #digitalswitzerland #CyberStudy2024 #DigitalAwareness #Resilience

The Bundeslagebild (national situation report) on cybercrime published by the Bundeskriminalamt reveals a concerning reality – cyberattacks on German organisations are still on the rise. What’s more alarming though is that attackers are abusing AI for their attacks, rendering them even more dangerous. 💻💥 Companies that fall victim to cyberattacks could not only face significant damage but also risk losing the trust of their customers. Therefore, it is crucial for companies to establish well-founded information security standards to protect themselves, their customers and their public image, e.g. by obtaining certifications or attestations like BSI C5:2020. 🔐💡 https://lnkd.in/eysZS5jd I believe that it is crucial to remain aware of threats to cybersecurity and data privacy and to rigorously implement best practices to mitigate cybercrime-related risks and to maintain stakeholder trust in your operations. 🤝🌐 #Cybersecurity #InformationSecurity #C5 #Trust #CyberAwareness #AI #Cybercrime
