The Impact of Ransomware

  • Ransomware-related data breaches were even higher, averaging USD 5.13 million.
  • This figure does not include the cost of the ransom payment, which averaged an additional USD 1,542,333 (up 89% from the previous year).
  • By one estimate, cybercrime could cost the world economy USD 10.5 trillion per year by 2025. Source
  • Small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are particularly vulnerable due to limited resources for cybersecurity.
  • Many SMBs struggle to recover after a ransomware attack, leading to business closures.
