Cybercrime, especially ransomware attacks, are increasingly disrupting day-to-day activities globally despite increased policing.

The lack of visibility into these incidents hampers trends tracking, and the problem could be worsening, with victims reportedly paying over $1 billion to cybercriminals in 2023.
