The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has resulted in a tremendous loss of life, and property, and caused massive upheavals in the global supply chain and economy. Few are aware, however, that the Russian government appears to have also conducted a systematic series of cyber-attacks alongside its military assault in Ukraine.

The abrupt and complete shift to remote work in the wake of the global pandemic had many companies scrambling to secure their infrastructure. Most CSO, CIO, and senior IT managers have spent weeks trying to make their networks secure and accessible, especially as ransomware and other cyber-attacks reached a fever pitch. Organizations spared no expense in ensuring the security of their backups with 3-2-1 strategy, air gapping and immutable backups.

Cybercrime is the greatest threat to every company in the world, with cyber criminals now doubling down on ransomware attacks, deploying more sophisticated campaigns at a time when remote working is already creating additional security challenges for businesses and its impact is reflected in the numbers.
