• Cybercriminals are smart – they’re always looking for the newest and most effective ways to exploit your technology and to get their hands on sensitive data.
• Ransomware attacks grew 113% last year, with more than a 4000% increase in crypto-ransomware attacks. Criminals use these attacks to hold documents, photos, and other files hostage until the victim pays a monetary fee to retrieve them. In many cases, the files are never recovered.
• 2014 also saw in a spike in attacks that tricked companies into infecting themselves. Attackers did this by attaching Trojans to software updates for common programs – once downloaded, the criminals were given unrestricted access to business networks.
• Attacks on mobile devices have seen a monumental increase. With employees continuing to bring their own devices into the office – and using them to access sensitive data from other places – it’s crucial to have a proper handle on device management.
