Reported by itproportal.com
The threat to IT systems and PCs has been demonstrated spectacularly in recent months. In May, the WanaCrypt0r 2.0 ransomware attacks struck, followed quickly in June by a global attack that was originally thought to be a variant of Petya ransomware, but was subsequently determined to actually be malware. These attacks have hit global organizations and companies, including the NHS, Maersk and WPP, causing huge disruption and cost from both a monetary and reputation perspective.
