Combating the Surge of Modern Malware and Ransomware

Cyberattacks have soared over the past year. Even before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, cybercrime tactics and technologies were growing rapidly in sophistication, driving a rate of nearly 1,300 incidents per day in the US alone in 2019. Now the numbers are spiking even further, with 80 percent of firms seeing an increase in 2020 in incidents from DDoS attacks, ransomware, and data breaches to phishing attacks. The COVID-19 pandemic was blamed for a 238 percent rise in cyberattacks on banks, while phishing has jumped 600 percent since the end of February 2020.

This eBook will explore the reasons these attacks have increased so dramatically, and more importantly, how to build a strategy to protect your data and networks against these attacks. We’ll look at four key areas:

  1. What is driving these cyberattacks?
  2. What is the impact of cybercrime?
  3. Where are cyber criminals hiding?
  4. Why you need to implement a Zero Trust strategy now?
