Preventing Ransomware Attacks: Top 9 Things to Keep in Mind
Sourced from Kaspersky Ransomware attacks have become a massive problem for almost every industry and every organization size. Recently, South Africa’s port authority Transnet was struck by a massive ransomware attack that left the country’s ports crippled for nearly a week. What is a Ransomware Attack?
