Most, if not all, of today’s businesses are turning to technology to improve the productivity of their business processes. While such an undertaking provides opportunities to increase the bottom line, the risks of sophisticated ransomware attacks that come along with it should never be ignored.

  • Ransomware Attacks – Recent Trends
