FOREWORD “ The report found that not all ransomware vulnerabilities are being caught by scanners ”

Another day , another Ransomware attack

As this month ’ s magazine was going to press a new ransomware report dropped into my inbox . The Ransomware Spotlight Report 2022 from Cyber Security Works ( CSW ) analyses the ransomware vulnerabilities and trends of 2021 .

With ransomware attacks happening so frequently another report on a rise in these types of attacks wouldn ’ t usually be something to highlight , however there was an interesting thread I wanted to share .

The report found that not all ransomware vulnerabilities are being caught by scanners . In fact , only 77 % of vulnerabilities were tracked by popular scanners in CSW ’ s study . This important finding highlights the need for improved threat detection in the current climate that could shape future decisions and help defend the environment from crippling attacks

After all , knowledge is power .
