GUEST BLOG: Architecting a Layered Security Approach in the ‘Year of the Hacker’
Given the volume of record-breaking and prominently reported breaches, it’s not surprising that 2016 was dubbed the year of the hack.

Ransomware is clearly a profitable line of work. Not surprisingly, its reach is growing, and 2017 is now being coined the year of the hacker.

Cerber Ransomware Is Not on Vacation This Summer
The latest Cerber ransomware easily bypasses traditional defenses. The analyzed Cerber sample was only detected as a suspicious malicious object by nine out of 64 antiviruses on the first submission to Virustotal.
