Ransomware threats are ruining lives of cybersecurity leaders: report

Six in 10 decision-makers say ransomware threats have pushed them to a breaking point.

The increasing number of ransomware threats is affecting the lives of cybersecurity leaders, a report revealed.

According to the Mimecast's State of Ransomware Readiness 2022, 61% of decision-makers are under mounting stress due to threats, and many of them are reaching breaking points.

This is likely because 68% of them also feel very personally responsible in the event of a ransomware attack.

The majority of cybersecurity decision-makers (89%) said the number of cyberattacks against their company has increased since last year or stayed the same.

On top of the concern over increasing threats, more than half (55%) of cybersecurity leaders also fear that cyber insurers will refuse to pay out ransoms in the future, the report added.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
