Ransomware threats are ruining lives of cybersecurity leaders: report

Six in 10 decision-makers say ransomware threats have pushed them to a breaking point.

The increasing number of ransomware threats is affecting the lives of cybersecurity leaders, a report revealed.

According to the Mimecast's State of Ransomware Readiness 2022, 61% of decision-makers are under mounting stress due to threats, and many of them are reaching breaking points.

This is likely because 68% of them also feel very personally responsible in the event of a ransomware attack.

The majority of cybersecurity decision-makers (89%) said the number of cyberattacks against their company has increased since last year or stayed the same.

On top of the concern over increasing threats, more than half (55%) of cybersecurity leaders also fear that cyber insurers will refuse to pay out ransoms in the future, the report added.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
