Datto has released its annual ransomware report and, as expected, the numbers continue to paint a grim picture.
With the onslaught of COVID-19 scams and cybersecurity threats, training your teams on safe practices for email and Internet is crucial.
As if you didn’t already have enough to worry about, scammers are exploiting the COVID-19 crisis to infiltrate your business and deceive your employees.
