Digital service provider Kroll published its "2021 Data Breach Outlook," which reviewed the effects of data breaches on its clients in 2020. The report shows a 140% increase in data breach notifications compared to 2019, with the most affected industries being health care, education and financial services. Kroll said the rise in incidents is linked to a combination of remote work, the evolution of ransomware, impacts to supply chain attacks, and heightened awareness to privacy rights and regulations.
