JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, June 23, 2021/ — Cyber criminals come in many different flavours, but the majority of them are in it for one thing: financial pay-off. They want the money that comes with offering their tools or services, selling stolen data, extortion like ransomware or plain fraud. “This level of attack really underscores how important it is to undertake consistent employee training and security skills development,” says Collard. Public Wi-Fi is wide open and home networks with poor passwords or out of date software are open doors. Organisations have to sit on the sharp end of the security stick with robust monitoring and detection systems, clear policies, consistent training and security boundaries.
