Business disruption is now a bigger cyber-threat than theft.

A third of all reported incidents against businesses were caused by ransomware, destructive malware and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, according to cloud-delivered endpoint protection firm CrowdStrike.

The company’s latest cybersecurity report, argues that cybercriminals are increasingly seeing business disruption as their main attack objective.

It was also said that they were able to hide their activities from cybersecurity departments much longer – 95 days on average (up from 85 days a year ago). CrowdStrike believes that businesses still lack the technology they need to reinforce their defences, prevent being exploited and mitigate potential risks.
