The Cost of Ransomware: It Isn’t Just About the Ransom Paid
Ransomware is no longer breaking news for consumers and companies. Large-scale infections like WannaCry and NotPetya were widely covered in the news last year. Similarly, the damage caused by ransomware should no longer be a surprise either, with totals growing at an alarming speed. In 2015 ransomware damages totaled around $300 million, but it topped $5 billion last year and is expected to reach $11.5 billion by the end of next year.

Atlanta’s Ransomware Woes: How to Defend Your Organization
Late Thursday, Atlanta, Georgia was hit by a ransomware attack that ended up infecting multiple applications and devices, crippling the city’s municipal computer system. As city employees arrived at work on Friday, they were each handed a flyer telling them not to turn on their computer until the IT department had cleared their systems. In the meantime, cybercriminals were demanding $51,000 in bitcoin to return access to the ATL. The Atlanta attack is just the latest high-profile ransomware attack that should prompt everyone to review their data protection strategy – because given how fast the threat from ransomware is evolving, old defenses are proving less effective against the new threats.

Are SSDs in the Same League with HDDs When it Comes to Data Recovery?
Solid-state drives (SSDs) have solved many of the problems that have historically plagued hard-disk drives (HDDs), particularly when it comes to sudden mechanical failures and longevity. In fact according to tests of a Samsung 850 Evo, the official estimates show that if you write 20GB on it every day, this SSD will last for up to 187 years. Can SSDs really replace HDDs? Let’s not forget, HDDs are first introduced in 1956 by IBM, more than 60 years ago. So let’s look and see if SSDs are as reliable as they are advertised.
