When your business decided to migrate to the cloud, better data security was probably one of the benefits you were aiming for. Compared to in-house systems, the cloud hosts your files via the internet, and with its redundancy features, even if one copy goes offline, another can still be accessed.

For many years now, ransomware attacks have been a dangerous threat not just to end users, but also to businesses of all sizes. Cybercriminals are constantly targeting organizations because they typically have a lot of sensitive data that hackers can use for personal or financial gain.

Cyberthreats are becoming more dangerous every day, and businesses are having trouble keeping up. Though installing security solutions such as antivirus software, firewalls, intrusion prevention systems (IPSs) and the like is a great step, understanding cybersecurity terminologies can be a big help.

Multiple security solutions, such as antivirus software, firewalls, and intrusion prevention systems (IPSs), are giving cybercriminals a more difficult time infiltrating IT systems and stealing sensitive data for financial or personal gain. However, there’s one surefire vulnerability hackers can exploit to attack systems: user negligence.

Cybercriminals are very aware of how valuable confidential company data is, and as a result, they’re constantly coming up with new ways to attack businesses of all sizes. This could take the form of malware, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and zero-day exploits.
