With cyberthreats becoming more sophisticated and frequent, the report underlines the need for organisations to prioritise their defences, mitigate risks and recover effectively. To help address these persistent cyberthreats, the report shares several actionable steps organisations can take to bolster defence, mitigate risk and recover more quickly, as well as the best practices of companies able to successfully recover.

Veeam surveyed 1,300 organisations to gauge how Chief Information Security Officers( CISOs), security professionals and IT leaders are recovering from cyberthreats.

Ransomware attacks are becoming more refined and pervasive, posing significant challenges to organisations globally. The Veeam report reveals that while the percentage of companies impacted by ransomware attacks has slightly declined from 75 % to 69 %, the threat remains substantial.

This decrease is attributed to improved preparation and resilience practices, as well as increased collaboration between IT and security teams. However, as ransomware attacks from both established groups and‘ lone wolf’ actors proliferate, organisations must adopt proactive cyber-resilience strategies to mitigate risks and recover more swiftly and effectively from incidents.

“ Organisations are improving their defences against cyberattacks, yet seven out of 10 still experienced an attack in the past year. And of those attacked, only 10 % recovered more than 90 % of their data, while 57 % recovered less than 50 %. Our latest findings clearly indicate that the threat of ransomware will continue to challenge organisations throughout 2025 and beyond,” said Anand Eswaran, CEO of Veeam.

“ As the nature and timing of attacks evolve, it is essential for every organisation to transition from reactive security measures to proactive data resilience strategies. By adopting a proactive security approach, investing in strong recovery solutions, and fostering collaboration across departments, organisations can significantly reduce the impact of ransomware attacks.”
