The Ransomware Spotlight Year-End Report from Ivanti, conducted in partnership with Cyber Security Works and Cyware, found that there is now a total of 157 ransomware families – an increase of 32 from the previous year.
Targeting unpatched vulnerabilities and weaponizing zero-day vulnerabilities in record time allows ransomware families to inflict debilitating attacks. They are evolving too, finding new ways to compromise valuable organizational networks as well as expand their attack spheres, to implement and trigger high-impact attacks.
