The Sophos survey found that higher education institutions worldwide reported the slowest ransomware attack recovery times across all polled sectors. Two in five higher education institutions took more than a month to recover. In contrast, only one in five institutions across all tracked sectors in the survey — including healthcare, business and construction — reported the same. Almost two-thirds of higher education institutions, 64%, said they were hit by ransomware in the past year. Around half of respondents said cyber attacks have increased in volume, complexity and impact.
