Cybercriminals are moving away from mass-volume, opportunistic ransomware attacks. Instead, they are focusing on enterprises they believe will pay their ransoms. What are some security best practices to protect against ransomware?

From ransomware strains and cryptomining campaigns that delivered the most attack payloads to phishing attacks that wreaked the most havoc, what are 2019's nastiest threats, identified by Webroot?

A  new report -- Webroot® Threat Report: Mid-Year Update -- has found that one in 50 URLs are malicious, nearly one-third of phishing sites use HTTPS and Windows® 7 and exploits have grown 75 percent since January 2019. 

A new report highlights the ways in which cybercriminals target people, rather than systems and infrastructure, to install malware, initiate fraudulent transactions, steal data, and more.

Eighty percent of companies surveyed experienced a cybersecurity incident in the past year, the most common being malware attacks, according to the Better Security And Business Outcomes With Security Performance Management Report by Forrester Consulting. 

On the premise that the best defense is understanding the real nature of the offense – or, in this case, offenses, since cyber security addresses a multi-front battleground – it’s useful to think in terms of concentric circles, broad steps any small or midsize business can take to maximize safety. 

A new survey says that people consider malicious insiders (30 percent) and human error (25 percent) to be the two top cybersecurity threats.

More than 3,800 data breaches were reported from January through June 30, exposing over 4.1 billion records, according to the 2019 MidYear Data Breach Quickview Report.
