This three-part blog series will explore threat-based methodology and how it benefits every company with a network.

HermeticWiper introduces some unique features, applying destructive actions on compromised hosts.

With the exponential rise in cybercrimes in the last decade, cybersecurity for businesses is no longer an option — it’s a necessity. Fuelled by the forced shift to remote working due to the pandemic, US businesses saw an alarming 50% rise in reported cyber attacks per week from 2020 to 2021. Many companies still use outdated technologies, unclear policies, and understaffed cybersecurity teams to target digital attacks.
