From schools to hospitals and private sector to public sector, no sphere is immune to these attacks. Couple these external threats with the reality of an insider attack and the security of any organization is challenged on a daily basis.

Today, Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and ransomware are in the news on a daily basis.

In the "stoplight" evaluation chart, green indicates a highly successful performance; yellow, a satisfactory performance; and red, a breakdown or failure in… Show more
