Cybersecurity Threats in the Government Sector

68.2%

of governments worldwide were compromised by at least one successful attack in the past year. Studies found that 52% of breached governments had service outages as a result of said attacks, making proactive offensive security measures more crucial than ever before.

82%

is what the average ransomware payment is increasing by year-over-year. Ransomware is the top cybercrime threat facing both the United States and Canada’s critical infrastructures. Additionally, ransomware-related breaches are taking 49 days longer than other types of breaches to identify and contain.

92%

of cities, 90% of counties, 64% of states, and over 70% of provinces report having a cyber insurance policy that they must upkeep compliance to continue being eligible for. Continuous security monitoring, in-depth penetration testing, and a robust Employee Awareness Program all assist in lowering cyber insurance premiums.
