August 15, 2024. Phishing emails to steal passwords, DDoS attacks to paralyze IT or ransomware attacks to infiltrate malware, encrypt data and extort ransom money – this is everyday life for many companies. Cloud services offer protection against many of these cyber attacks. Of the 81% of companies that currently use cloud computing, more than half (54%) state that they have not experienced any cyberattacks on their cloud environment in the past twelve months. A further 35% have experienced attacks, but the security measures have taken effect and reduced the impact. Only 6 percent experienced major disruptions to operations as a result of the attacks. These are the results of a representative survey of 603 companies with 20 or more employees from all economic sectors in Germany commissioned by the digital association Bitkom.
