From the beginning of time, data has been the most valuable asset. Money, gold, diamonds and anything we’ve place a value on were merely constructs created to trade for this data. Just so happens, Ransomware is today’s construct. Created to conceal data theft, because what was once your data, will be sold. Do you understand …
Last Friday we asked if your back-ups work. Many answered saying their in fact have back-ups. To be clear, we were asking if your back-ups work.
