If the Microsoft Digital Defense Report taught us anything about 2021, it's that viruses are captivating not only the physical but also the digital world with unprecedented "mutations".

Cybersecurity experts had their hands full of more than 25 different types of malicious phishing emails techniques. Lots of malware attacks like Agent Tesla, IcedID, Trickbot, and so on, but also ransomware and most recently Log4j attacks.

Even in 2022, keeping your business free from cybercrime will be a complex matter. Viruses will continue to mutate, and cybercrime is not going to stand still. It makes the words of our Cybersecurity Business Manager - Christophe Verhaeghe sound almost prophetic, but not less true.

Last year was not all doom and gloom. The report noted that we are seeing a 50% year-over-year decrease in the susceptibility of employees to be tricked into a phishing email.

Important to note is that these employees were well and sporadically trained to spot malicious cyber practices. The key statistic that the Microsoft Digital Defense Report highlights is that Phishing is responsible for nearly 70% of all data breaches.

"And why is that a good statistic?" you ask. Microsoft showed that 98% of all types of attacks can be stopped by Basic security hygiene.

Just like regularly washing your hands, disinfecting the shopping cart or just taking a shower now and then 😌 . Basic Security Hygiene is the same but for your business IT infrastructure.
