Everyone’s Caught Off Guard
Nigel Thorpe is technical director at SecureAge. He said ransomware attacks catch every organization off guard.
“Most believe that they have adequate IT security measures in place, including anti-malware and IT security training for end users,” he said. “The problem in the education sector is that the user population connected to the network includes a wide range of students with little experience in IT security. There is no shame in even the most experienced IT administrator being duped into falling for a carefully crafted phishing or social engineering attack, so ordinary users should certainly be forgiven.”
