The Problem

Private equity firms face new risks

Companies worldwide are dealing with advanced cyberattacks involving nation-states and organized cybercriminals. Recent studies have shown that threat actors can penetrate 93% of company networks, often in just two days.

 

Data breaches and ransomware attacks on public companies tend to get more attention, but the risks are just as great for private equity firms. Their portfolio companies—often mid-market and less cyber-sophisticated—are also frequent targets.

  • Financial services are 300x more likely to be attacked than other industries
  • 68% of business leaders believe their companies’ cyber risks are growing
  • Data breaches now cost an average $4.88 million globally—$9.36 million in the US
