The first quarter of 2022 proved to be highly significant for cyber security. Kroll observed a 54% increase in phishing attacks being used for initial access compared to Q4 2021. While the proportion of ransomware incidents decreased by 20%, cybercriminals capitalized on a unique twist on business email compromise and other methods to extort victims, which included the large-scale data theft by groups such as Lapsus$.

This webcast covers:
- The shift in risk parameters in recent months
- Which ransomware groups are the most active this year and the tactics being used?
