Malware shares an equally intrusive and destructive nature as ransomware and has the same goal of infiltrating and stealing information. With this umbrella term, we will discover, according to the same study mentioned earlier, a staggering 5.4 billion malware attacks occurred last year. And compared to 2020, malware attacks skyrocketed to 167% in 2021.  

Ransomware and malware typically start with a phishing email. Carrying this out will be child’s play and will cost little to nothing for the attackers. And yet, over the years, this strategy has still been so effective in gaining access to an entire corporate network. You can prevent this when you train and educate your workers on how to be aware of this threat. Boost your cybersecurity this 2022 to ensure the protection of your people and your company too.
