The recent news about a cyberattack that has left many organizations on alert, in which hackers demanded $5 million as ransom, underscores the growing threat companies face in terms of their data protection. In this context, having a strategic ally like Novacomp becomes imperative to mitigate the risks of ransomware and other types of cyberattacks.

Context of the attack

The cyberattack in question has exposed the vulnerabilities to which entities in Costa Rica are exposed. With the increase in digitization and teleworking, access to sensitive systems has become more accessible to cybercriminals. It is essential to recognize that cybersecurity is not just a technical area but a business priority that must be addressed from the top management level.

Statistics

According to recent reports from global cybersecurity companies such as McAfee and Symantec, cyberattacks in Costa Rica have increased by 40% in the last year. This translates to an average of 1.5 daily attacks on companies nationwide. In addition, 60% of small and medium-sized enterprises that suffer a ransomware attack close their doors within six months of the incident. These figures highlight the need to adopt a proactive stance on cybersecurity.
