Trend Micro’s Cyber Risk Index, now with worldwide data, reveals elevated risk of attack<\/h2>\n

\n DALLAS<\/span>, Dec. 2, 2020<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — Trend Micro Incorporated, the leader in cloud security, published survey findings revealing 23% of global organizations suffered seven or more attacks infiltrating their networks or systems over the past year. The vast majority (83%) of surveyed organizations expect that such attacks are “somewhat” to “very” likely to be successful in the coming 12 months.<\/p>\n

The insights are published in the latest version of Trend Micro’s Cyber Risk Index<\/i> (CRI) www.trendmicro.com\/cyberrisk<\/a>) calculated by the Ponemon Institute by measuring the gap between organizations’ current security posture and their likelihood of being attacked. <\/p>\n

“The CRI is fast becoming an indispensable resource for CISOs looking to assess their readiness to respond to cyber attacks,” said Jon Clay<\/span>, director of global threat communications for Trend Micro. “This year we’ve added data from Europe<\/span> and APAC to provide truly global insight. It will help organizations across the world find better ways to cut through complexity, mitigate insider threats and skills shortages, and enhance cloud security to minimize cyber risk and drive post-pandemic success.” <\/p>\n

The CRI is based on a numerical scale of -10 to 10, with -10 representing the highest level of risk. The current global index stands at -0.41, representing “elevated” risk, although risk is highest in the US (-1.07) due to a perceived lack of cyber preparedness versus other regions.<\/p>\n
