Malware isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the backbone of modern cyberattacks, and it’s evolving faster than most organizations can keep up. In this episode, we cut through the noise and break down what malware really is, how it works, and why it remains one of the most disruptive forces in today’s digital landscape.
We unpack the core categories—from classic viruses and trojans to ransomware and spyware—and explain how attackers combine social engineering, zero-day exploits, and automation to slip past even mature defenses. You’ll hear the real-world impact: locked systems, hijacked data, financial loss, and the erosion of customer trust.
Most importantly, we outline practical, immediately usable tactics to strengthen your defenses. From modern anti-malware tools to access controls, software patching, and email hygiene, this episode gives you the operational playbook to stay a step ahead.
If your goal is to reduce risk—or at minimum, avoid being the easiest target—this is the malware briefing every professional needs.
