Resisting the persistent threat of cyber-attacks
Gavin Russell · Computer Fraud & Security · 2017
If there's one issue that businesses across all sectors should be concerned about in 2017, it's the threat of cyber-attacks. Cyber-security-related stories have rarely made it out of the news this year, and this has resulted in increased public awareness surrounding the topic. Stories about data breaches and other cyber-security issues have barely left the headlines this year and public awareness of the issue is growing. Gavin Russell of Wavex examines some of the most serious risks that face businesses – including malware, ransomware and DDoS attacks – and their potential impacts. Organisations of all kinds need to be proactive about keeping themselves safe using a combination of technology tools employed alongside appropriate business processes and data governance, he argues.
