IRIS Ransomware
A data-driven analysis of thousands of ransomware incidents designed to replace fear and uncertainty with clear insights that help organizations strengthen their defenses.
Understanding the True Impact of Ransomware
Supported by CISA, this IRIS report analyzes more than 14,000 ransomware incidents from the past five years to uncover how attacks occur, how they spread, and the financial damage they create. With over a billion records compromised and an estimated $270 billion in losses, the study provides organizations with a clearer, data-backed understanding of ransomware risk—and the insights needed to prepare, respond, and build greater resilience.
Key Findings
Ransomware accounted for 32% of all security incidents and 38% of financial losses from cyber events in the last five years.
A stark increase from less than 1% in 2015, ransomware represented over half (52%) of monthly reported cyber events by 2023.
Approximately 10% of organizations are likely to experience a ransomware incident within the next year.
While ransomware impacts 51% of incidents in the Manufacturing sector, it affects only 15% in Financial Services.
