Recognizing today’s threats

“

- [Narrator] Cyberthreats have evolved over the past 30 years. Starting with the Morris Worm in 1988. And then a rash of damaging email viruses hit in the early 2000's. We then started to see denial of service attacks, botnets, ransomware and attacks that were more coordinated. Overall, the level of sophistication has increased. Today cybercrime is more complex, well-funded, and capable of causing major disruption to an organization. I'll take you out to this page where we see a report by FireEye on current threats. Threats that include pandemic inspired threats, ransomware holding companies hostage, corporate espionage, and concern with cloud security. The threats that we face today will continue. And that is why it's important to stay vigilant so that you can better defend the network.
