The global digital transformation of processes, products, communication, infrastructure and networking of economic and social areas offers enormous opportunities, but also offers hackers a multitude of attack options. The extremely increasing frequency of cyber attacks with millions of new malicious program variants has led to billions in damage from protection money claims, espionage and theft of sensitive data in the last two years alone. The resulting data protection and economic consequences are unmistakable and harbor existential risks for those affected.
Allianz, one of the world’s largest insurance groups, published the Allianz Risk Barometer 2022 in January 2022 .
„The Allianz Risk Barometer is our annual report identifying the top corporate risks for the next 12 months and beyond, based on the insight of more than 2,650 risks management experts from 89 countries and territories. Cyber perils are the biggest concern for companies globally in 2022, according to the Allianz Risk Barometer. The threat of ransomware attacks, data breaches or major IT outages worries companies even more than business and supply chain disruption, natural disasters or the Covid-19 pandemic, all of which have heavily affected firms in the past year.“ (Source: AGCS)
