Data loss through encryption (Ransomware) or theft (Backdoors) are two of the most successful targeted attacks on companies.

Data theft is a threat that can be carried out: by states (APT Advanced Persistent Threats), by cybercriminal organisations, by hacktivists or even by isolated individuals. This illegal quest for knowledge for intelligence or extortion purposes can bring a company to its knees. In Switzerland, the cyber attack against RUAG is a clear example of a data exfiltration attack.

In 2022, the National Centre for Cybersecurity (NSCS) received more than 34'000 reports, of which 159 were ransomware, which is double the number in 2020.
