Sharing critical tips during Cybersecurity Awareness Month
Cybercriminals are more ruthless and innovative than ever in finding ways to attack your systems and compromise your data. They pay attention to user trends and digital advances as much as you do — or maybe more.
The good news is that the methods you can employ to protect your business and personal life are getting better, too. For Cybersecurity Awareness Month in October, Wipfli will once again offer 30 tips in 30 days from our cybersecurity team, aimed at improving the security of businesses.
In presenting these best practices, our objective is to provide insights on how to reduce risk and ensure the privacy, integrity and accessibility of your vital information assets.
Why do you need to reduce risk at your organization?
- The average data breach globally in 2023 cost organizations $4.45 million, a 15% increase over three years, according to IBM’s 2023 data breach report.
- 95% of organizations in IBM’s latest study had more than one breach, and 82% of breaches were cloud based.
- In 2022, 493.33 million ransomware attacks were detected by organizations worldwide, increasing 50% from the third to fourth quarter of the year to reach nearly 150 million cases.
- Phishing remains one of the most common cyberattacks, with approximately 3.4 billion daily spam emails.
