The average cost of recovering from a ransomware attack has more than doubled in the past 12 months, from an average of $761,000 in 2020 to $1.85 million in 2021, according to global research from Sophos. "The State of Ransomware 2021" report surveyed 5,400 IT decision-makers at mid-sized organizations in 30 countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Central Asia, Middle East, and Africa. While the amount of companies falling victim to an attack has dropped — from 51% of respondents in 2020 to 37% in 2021 — the results reveal worrying growing trends, especially in terms of the impact of a ransomware attack.
