Ransomware Statistics: Protect Your Clients with Verifiable Storage

Ransomware Statistics: Protect Your Clients with Decentralized Storage


In the realm of data security, the ransomware threat is a relentless adversary that MSPs and data center owners must confront head-on. The year 2023 has witnessed a significant surge in ransomware attacks, with reported incidents soaring by a staggering 62%. The financial toll, inclusive of ransom payments, remediation costs, and productivity loss during recovery, is projected to exceed $20 billion for businesses worldwide.

Yet, the true cost of a ransomware attack extends far beyond the demanded ransom. Consider factors such as business interruption, data recovery, legal expenses, reputational damage, and potential regulatory fines. These elements culminate in an average projected cost of over $4 million per data breach resulting from a ransomware attack in 2023.

As an MSP or data center owner, you bear a profound responsibility to safeguard your clients from these pernicious threats. High-profile ransomware cases like the Verizon Security Breach underscore the urgency of bolstering your cybersecurity measures.
