In the wake of recent high-profile data breaches, organizations of all sizes are seeking ways to better protect their business-critical systems and prevent future attacks of a similar nature. According to Cybercrime Magazine, more than half of all cyberattacks are committed against small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs).

The CryptoLocker ransomware attack was one of the most virulent malware attacks. It propagated as an attachment to what appeared as a legitimate e-mail from a well-known company or institution. Upon opening the attachment, CryptoLocker would encrypt data and then demand a ransom be paid by a certain date, in exchange for decryption. 

Our Cyber Range Engineers have created a Cyber Essentials Video Series to introduce employees, partners and vendors to the foundational concepts and tools necessary to be successful when remotely using the Tech Data Cyber Range.

Last year at our inaugural Security Enforce conference, we showed our partners how to wield the shield of collaboration. We provided partners with the community, offerings and strategies needed to assist in shielding your customers from the evolving threat landscape. We also introduced the first ever, state-of-the-art cyber range offered by an IT distributor.
