69% of organizations faced ransomware breaches last year with recovery time stretching to two weeks, according to a report by Delinea Inc.
U.S. breach rates climbed from 53% in 2023 to 71% in 2024, with over a quarter of firms targeted multiple times by ransomware.
Fewer U.S. firms paid ransoms in 2024 (57%) compared to 2023 (76%), but payment does not guarantee success in retrieving all data.
Only 18% of victims fully restored operations within 24 hours, while three-quarters took up to two weeks to recover fully, indicating the operational disruptions post-ransomware attacks.
