The frequency of ransomware claims in the United States between 2022-2023 jumped by a staggering 64% year over year, which was was primarily driven by an explosion in “indirect” ransomware incidents which increased by more than 415% in 2023 than in 2022, according to a new report from At-Bay.
The firm recently released its 2024 InsurSec Report, which details new trends in ransomware attacks against mid-market and emerging organisations.
A notable figure from the report shows that attackers continued to exploit remote access technology, with 58% of direct ransomware incidents attributable to a remote access vulnerability.
