And due to the depth I tried to go with this one, it has been split into a two-part series, so make sure to come back for the second part after you’ve finished this one.

Cyber threats and attacks are a growing issue for businesses because the amount of vulnerabilities has increased. The volume of global malware has risen 58% annually, and the volume of spam has risen by more than one-third in the past 12 months.
