When good enough is not enough
You know better than anyone the threats you face. You only have to look at the logs every morning to see the intrusion attempts. From all over the world, bots are pinging your ports, looking for an opening. There's malware, phishing, identity theft, brute force attempts – and the dark web, where huge files of user names and passwords are openly for sale. The list goes on.
Webster has assembled these resources to raise awareness and provide guidance. As part of our client partnerships, we collaborate to help them maintain a secure environment.
