Article summarizing data from the past year on the statistics of cybersecurity. The article groups parts of the data into sections to be able to provide some context. The first section is a summary of the whole cybersecurity industry plus the economic effects from cyberattacks. The most popular scam was phishing/email fraud, and Apple, Netflix, and Yahoo were the most commonly spoofed services. Almost 3.5 billion was lost by cybercrime globally, and roughly 1.7 billion of that were due to email compromises. The second section has to do with how organizations are dealing with cybersecurity, with IT spending projected to reach 3.9 trillion in 2020 globally. The next section talks about the cybersecurity industry in particular, with 62% of cybersecurity teams understaffed and over 50% with unfilled positions. Afterwards the article discusses losses due to specific cyberattacks such as Deepfakes and DDOSs. The section after that discusses a number of data breaches that occurred in the last year. Later sections deal with the lack of a “culture of security” both on the human side and the technology side. The article finishes with data on the rise of new cyberattacks, as well as a summary of cyberattacks on different industries including the financial and healthcare sectors.
