Ransomware Uncovered – Specialist Certificate

In 2017 the NHS in the UK was hit with a Ransomware attack and the world dodged a bullet as the malware was stopped in its tracks. Since then, the threat level has escalated as too has the sophistication level of the cybercriminals. We are seeing relentless attacks around the globe on all sectors, on organizations of all sizes.  Everyone is a potential target and victims include oil pipelines, academia, financial institutions and even the entire health service of Ireland. Ransomware is generally a symptom of poor cyber hygiene, so how do we deal with this challenge.
