Ransomware is a serious threat to institutions of all kinds, resulting in mounting costs for organizations that must literally pay ransom to regain access to their essential systems.

How Blockchain could transform smart-home privacy tech
About the time that Bitcoin was becoming a household name in the cryptocurrency business, an associated up-and-coming technology called blockchain was making waves and being hailed as the next big thing.

Working from home - new reality for even small businesses
I’m very fortunate in the COVID-19 situation. My job as editor of the AT&T Cybersecurity blog lends itself well to working from home. In fact, even before the virus I had the privilege to work from home some of the time – of course with a VPN and other security measures, on company equipment.

PowerShell and 'Fileless Attacks'
PowerShell had its beginnings as a way to enable administrators to perform their tasks both locally and remotely with unprecedented access to underlying Windows components, such as COM objects and WMI.
