Application Virtualization
Application virtualization is the practice of using a virtualization layer to trick an application into thinking it’s interacting directly with the host operating system.
Containers vs VMs
Containers and virtual machines (VMs) are both virtualization solutions, although they serve different purposes and work in slightly different ways.
Cloud Security
Cloud security implements a combination of technical and organizational measures to protect the data and services of a business.
Conti
When a cybercriminal deploys Conti on a victim's network, it spreads rapidly while encrypting and transferring data to a remote location.
CryptoLocker
In most cases, CryptoLocker is delivered through phishing emails that attempt to trick victims into downloading and executing the ransomware.
Desktop Virtualization
Desktop virtualization is a technical implementation that enables a system to emulate other systems using only software.
Endpoint Security
Endpoint security is the practice of securing endpoints such as mobile devices, laptops and desktop computers from malicious activity.
Hypervisor
A hypervisor is a virtualization tool that allows a single host computer to run multiple guest virtual machines, sharing resources such as processor threads, memory or network throughput.
Malware
Malware is malicious software designed to infect computers, phones or similar devices. The software may damage the device, collect information or be used to extort money from the victim.
Network Virtualization
Network virtualization transforms a hardware-based network into a software-based network, known as Software Defined Networking (SDN).
Ransomware
Ransomware is a form of malware that prevents users from accessing their systems or personal files. It is not a computer virus.
Ransomware Types
Ransomware can be divided into four key categories, based on the type of threat it presents to its victims.
Server Virtualization
Server virtualization is the practice of using software to divide a single physical server into several virtual machines (VMs), each of which can run a different operating system.
Phishing
Phishing is a form of social engineering attack in which malicious parties trick a person into providing sensitive information.
WannaCry
WannaCry is a ransomware cryptoworm that specifically targets computers running any version of the Microsoft operating system.
