Following the security attacks that took place earlier this month on the Everis consultancy and Cadena SER radio in Spain, we thought it would be interesting to bring you a Hiscox study done by Forrester Consulting between October and December 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through surveys conducted in<\/strong> American, English, Spanish, Dutch, German, Belgian and French companies, the study sought to understand whether companies are prepared for these attacks.<\/p>\n

<\/strong>According to the report, the majority of companies (61%) say they have experienced security breaches in the last twelve months, which contrasts with the 45% of companies that acknowledged having experienced one or more cyber attacks in the year 2017. With regard to the frequency of incidents, 30% of companies reported having had four or more incidents, an increase and 10% compared to the previous year.<\/p>\n

The most recurrent attacks were viruses and worms (24%), followed by ransomware (17%) and denial of service or DDoS (15%).<\/p>\n

“Small businesses (up to fifty employees) that have been targeted by cyber-attacks have risen from <\/em>33% to 47% and for medium-sized businesses (up to 250 employees) from 36% to 63%, this is despite large organisations being the most affected with 75% experiencing problems and with 21% indicating they have experienced five or more security incidents.”<\/em><\/p>\n

However,<\/span> the study reveals that this increase may be a consequence of the implementation of the GDPR As Gareth Wharton, cyber CEO of Hiscox, noted “The regulation is increasing companies’ awareness of security issues and forcing them to lay a rigorous foundation in cybersecurity. The GDPR has forced organisations to adapt and caused an increase in demand for cyber security and cyber insurance solutions.”<\/p>\n
