Czech companies are among the most vulnerable in Europe, with other countries peaking at a weekly average of 1,557 attacks (Source: Security Report, Check Point, 2024).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-square\">\n<li>In general, estimates indicate that <strong>60% of Czech companies<\/strong> <strong>have been subjected to a cyber attack<\/strong> in the past. In the case of domestic organisations, the most common cause of these incidents is the launch of malicious code, attempts to communicate with compromised systems and take control of them through phishing scams, ransomware attacks, DDoS and APT (Source: IT Security Economics, 01\/2025).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-square\">\n<li>Ransomware attacks and the associated demands of threat actors pose a significant economic, operational and reputational burden on organisations. According to the experience of Czech forensic teams, they demand <strong>ransoms of up to 15% of annual turnover<\/strong> for the return of encrypted data, its distribution to third parties or its publication. According to a study by the domestic branch of ComSource, the real amount of the ransom in 2024 was on average CZK 6 million, and this value is also on the rise. Meanwhile, an estimated 20% of medium and large enterprises globally have dealt with various types of ransomware.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-square\">\n<li>According to Kaspersky research, <strong>42% of security incidents are caused by internal employees<\/strong> due to a lack of <strong>training to identify and eliminate potential attacks<\/strong>. Thus, according to the same study, the human factor is one of the major security risks actively used by social engineering techniques to effectively breach the security of corporate data and operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-list-square\">\n<li>The security ecosystem of Czech companies is not in optimal condition for the reasons mentioned above. An effective prevention against the fatal consequences of current cyber threats are tools for <strong>regular backups and tested data recovery plans<\/strong>. Even in this respect &#8211; especially small and medium-sized enterprises &#8211; have a lot of catching up to do. Indeed, according to an Ipsos survey for the Association of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Tradespeople (AMSP CR), 55% of their members take regular backups. The topic of effective data recovery plans and data availability tests also represents a major opportunity for domestic companies in terms of ensuring their own existence and survival.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trusted-introducer.org\/directory\/teams\/faster-csirt-cz.html#teamdetails\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FASTER-CSIRT (CZ)<\/a> security team, registered to the European <strong>Trusted Introducer Service<\/strong> standard for 24\/7\/365 security and incident response, is here for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have been working on cyber security since we built our own data centre.
