Recent ransomware attacks on European companies demonstrate that cyber threats are inevitable; organizations must prepare proactively rather than reacting after an incident occurs.
On January 11, 2025, a Dutch technology company specializing in sustainable waste processing was forced to halt operations due to a ransomware attack by the BlackBasta group, which encrypted over 500 GB of critical data. The same day, a Belgian manufacturing company suffered a similar attack, losing 600 GB of sensitive information. These incidents, while not directly impacting individual users’ personal data, disrupted supply chains and caused significant financial and reputational damage. Cybercriminals are targeting not just high-profile corporations, but critical industries. It’s no longer a matter of if an organization will be attacked, but when, and whether it is prepared.
