# RiskRecon Rating Correlation to Ransomware Event Frequency

To help understand the probability of an organization succumbing to a destructive ransomware attack, RiskRecon has studied the cybersecurity hygiene of companies at the time of the detonation of the ransomware in their organization using the RiskRecon cybersecurity ratings platform. To date, RiskRecon has studied a total of 993 public-reported destructive ransomware events occurring between January 2016 and October 2022. Of these 993 events.

In this report, readers will learn:

- The correlation between cybersecurity hygiene and ransomware attacks
- How to minimize the likelihood of your key vendors falling victim to a destructive ransomware attack
- How to know which vendors don’t have good cybersecurity hygiene
