The shortage of staff creates an urgency for organizations to have cyber security plans. For example, in 2021, the planned Kaseya ransomware attack happened on the 4th of July. Russian hackers knew there would be a staff shortage in the US. They used the company’s software to infiltrate the victims’ systems, using a zero-day vulnerability. As a result, the attack caused significant financial loss to 50 direct customers, and between 800 and 1,500 businesses down the chain.
