Kevin Haley, Director Symantec Security Response, chats with ITSPmagazine’s editor-in-chief, Sean Martin, about the latest findings captured in Symantec’s Internet Security Threat Report (ISTR). Some of the topics include:
- Targeted attacks trying to affect companies even with limited or non-existent economic gain to be had
- Small and medium businesses at a prime target, a sweet spot for the hacker industry, if you will
- The number and frequency of attacks against the IoT is surprising - consumers and businesses alike are connecting devices to their own networks and to the Internet
- The latest ransomware stats are in. Are we paying the ransoms? Are the ransom values up… how much are they now?
