Ransomware in the Supply Chain: Six Lessons from 10 Years of Attacks

Ransomware continues to be one of the most disruptive cyber threats to organizations worldwide. Over the past decade, attackers have crippled critical services, halted supply chains, and forced businesses into costly recovery efforts.

RiskRecon’s latest research analyzed 7,158 ransomware events across 196,000 organizations to uncover patterns that matter to you. The findings reveal where attackers strike, why some companies fall victim, and how you can better protect your enterprise and supply chain from cascading ransomware risks.

Key Findings from the Report:

1% of suppliers experience a ransomware attack every year
Companies with poor cybersecurity hygiene are 5.3x more likely to be breached
134 countries were impacted—ransomware is a global problem
Attackers target every industry, with healthcare, education, and city governments among the hardest hit
Criminals are active 24x7, including weekends and holidays, with more ransomware gangs than ever before

Understand where ransomware risk is hiding in your supply chain—and how to reduce it.

You rely on your third- and fourth-party vendors to do business, but those vendors also pose risk to your enterprise’s sensitive data. RiskRecon gives you accurate, non-invasive visibility into your vendors’ security postures and then ranks vulnerabilities in order of priority so you know which issues to tackle first.

With our third-party cyber risk assessments, you’ll also be provided with custom-fitted risk action plans so you can immediately start engaging with your vendor for remediation. And if a vendor’s cyber risk degrades or an element falls out of policy, you’ll be notified instantly.
