Strongest weapon

The rise of cloud computing and the increased popularity of remote working due to the coronavirus pandemic have made managing the security of information systems more complex. Fraud attempts, ransomware and other cyber attacks are on the rise. The high popularity of ransomware is not particularly surprising: very few hackers are politically motivated or want to cause damage just for the sake of it. They want to make a quick buck.

With ransomware, they have a relatively easy-to-use tool that promises them a good chance of success. Attacks today are as much a data problem as a financial one. Modern data analytics help IT managers turn their biggest challenge - massive and growing amounts of data - into their strongest weapon in the fight against cybercriminals.

“Cyber attacks are on the rise. The high popularity of ransomware comes as no surprise. “
