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.
