Ransomware cyberattacks are a big business, so big in fact, that research anticipates a business is attacked by a cybercriminal every 11 seconds and damage costs from these attacks will hit around $20 billion by 2021.

Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting healthcare organizations. As cybercriminals continue to outpace the security technology and processes in the healthcare sector, what can IT leaders do to prevent modern-day cyberattacks?
Everything you need to know about ransomware: what is ransomware, different types of ransomware, how does it spread, impact, and how to protect against it.
Fileless PowerShell attacks are now the preferred weapon of choice for cyberattacks because they provide a number of techniques around existing security. Not least of all, the ability to run directly in memory and remotely download payloads.
