“Cybercriminals are not taking a break during the Coronavirus pandemic – in fact they’re working overtime. The Webroot Threat Research team, equipped with state-of-the-art AI technology, discovered 1.5 million unique threats in May alone, three times as many in January and a three-year high. The most effective way to improve organizational cyber resilience is through employee education based on real-world threats and consistently reinforcing those learnings with simulation testing.”
