Phishing attacks ramped up to historic levels at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now that it’s been two years since these highs, IDG checked in with 300 IT executives across North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region to learn their current levels of concern about phishing.

They found 93% of executives were still concerned about phishing, with 61% highly concerned. It’s no wonder – companies reported an average of 18 attacks each in the past 12 months.

And victims of phishing cited serious consequences:

• 37% suffered downtime lasting longer than a day

• 32% experienced lost productivity

• 19% had to pay legal or regulatory fines

Together, IDG and OpenText share successful strategies for defending against these kinds of attacks. Download the full report to read their insights and recommendations for protecting against phishing as well as other kinds of cyberattacks.
