Cybercrime losses reached all-time highs in 2021, with more than $6.9 billion in reported losses according to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center. While the media reports on major attacks, no organization is immune from cyber thieves. And, according to Aon Risk Services, ransomware attacks alone are up 323% from 2019 to 2021.

In other words, if cybersecurity isn’t on your radar, it should be. October is NAR’s Cybersecurity Month, but we’re starting early with a Risk Management Webinar for associations, MLSs and their legal counsel.
