Trend Micro announced there was a decrease in ransomware and business email compromise (BEC) detections. It was reported that they blocked 9 million more threats last year than the previous year (2020 – 25.7 million to 2021 – 16.7 million). And even though phishing attempts nearly doubled, a good portion of ransomware and BEC threat exposures were declined, causing a decrease in detections from 2020. In total, 2021 had a 42% increase in blocked threats from the year before, which showed there is a trend of larger organizations being targeted for more of these attacks.
