Citation extremely needed.

I have worked at 20+ companies and the ones that had little to no security got ransomwared at LEAST yearly (with 50m+ in revenues) and the ones that had basic and standard security practices got zero network wide intrusions (at least at lower then say, a nation state level.)

Now, COULD they have been exploited with an 0day? Sure, in theory these networks could be both exploited with the same technology or by a dedicated actor likely without an issue - they're internet connected corporate networks mostly with probably out of date tech; and in practice most attacks corporations need to mitigate are the drive by trash that consumers also face.
