7.6% increase in vulnerabilities associated with ransomware
50% decrease in ransomware vulnerabilities not detected by scanners
“The fact that scanners are not detecting critical ransomware vulnerabilities is a huge problem for organizations. CSW experts are continuously tracking this as a part of our research and analysis. The good news is, that in this quarter, we saw the number coming down. This means that scanner companies are taking this seriously. That said, there are still 11 ransomware vulnerabilities that the scanners are not detecting, where five are rated critical and associated with notorious ransomware gangs like Ryuk, Petya, and Locky.”
— Aaron Sandeen, CEO & Co-Founder at Cyber Security Works
