The threat
Ransomware presents a significant risk to Australia’s economy and national security. The Australian Cyber Security Centre’s (ACSC) Annual Cyber Threat Report 2020-2021 shows that ransomware has grown in impact and remains one of the most disruptive threats to Australian organisations.
Cybercrime reports submitted via ReportCyber (through cyber.gov.au) recorded total financial losses of more than $33 billion (AUD). ReportCyber received almost 500 ransomware related cybercrime reports in the 2020-21 financial year, an increase of almost 15% from the previous year.
