35% of breaches linked to ransomware attacks that resulted in ‘tremendous financial cost’: Tenable’s 2020 Threat Landscape Retrospective (TLR) report
An analysis of breach data by cybersecurity firm Tenable’s Security Response Team (SRT) has revealed that over 22 billion records were exposed worldwide as a result of 730 publicly disclosed security events from January through October 2020.
According to Tenable’s 2020 Threat Landscape Retrospective (TLR) report, 35 per cent of breaches analysed by Tenable were linked to ransomware attacks. These breaches have resulted in a “tremendous financial cost.”
Fourteen per cent of these breaches were the result of email compromises.
“One of the overarching themes of the threat landscape in 2020 was that threat actors relied on unpatched vulnerabilities in their attacks as well as chaining together multiple vulnerabilities as part of their attacks,” Tenable said.
