What is Malware?
Malware represents a significant danger to the safety of your devices, primarily computers and laptops. "Malware" includes viruses, spyware, ransomware, and other malicious software that can infect your computer without your knowledge.
When malware infects your device, it opens the door for cybercriminals to steal your confidential data, flood you with unwanted ads, lock your files for ransom, and expose you to additional security threats.
Consider this:
60% of small enterprises shut down following a cyber assault. The typical cost for small to medium businesses facing a data breach? A staggering $3 million. Moreover, ransomware attacks have doubled from the previous year since 2021, occurring at an alarming rate of 20 every second.
