1).\u00a0<\/strong>RANSOMWARE: Ransomware can affect us all, from individuals, small business, public sector & large organisations.<\/strong> The UK NCSC<\/strong> (National Cyber Security Centre) has created a guide to ransomware. Ransomware<\/strong> is a type of malware which prevents you from accessing your device and the data stored on it, usually by encrypting your files. A criminal group will then demand a ransom in exchange for decryption. The computer itself may become locked, or the data on it might be encrypted, stolen or deleted. The attackers may also threaten to leak the data they steal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

2).\u00a0<\/strong>PHISHING: Phishing attacks are on the rise and evolving every day<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Download \u201cPhishing for Dummies\u201d Free \u2013 Phishing is one of the top threats faced by every size organization around the globe. Through vulnerability exploits and social engineering, organizations find that the security of their critical data and sensitive user information is at risk. A better understanding of phishing is an integral platform for building the security resilience to protect against possible attacks. You\u2019ll learn: What new threats have emerged Key social, political, and technological trends<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

3).\u00a0<\/strong>WHAT IS RANSOMWARE & Is Your SME Vulnerable to Ransomware Attacks? \u2013 CyberKPI:<\/strong> Ransomware uses encryption to hold a victim\u2019s information at a ransom, rendering it inaccessible until the attacker receives a payment. The malware used by the attackers now employ double-extortion and triple-extortion tactics. For instance, Cybercriminals<\/strong> not only encrypt the victim\u2019s data but also steal it, threatening to leak it if the ransom is not paid.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
