As the COVID-19 crisis continues to evolve, uncertainty has become the new norm, with many businesses grappling to keep their people and their data secure. 

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) situation is constantly evolving, and its impact on members of our community differs in many ways. It poses the greatest risk to older adults and to those with pre-existing health conditions, but inevitably it is already having an impact on us all.

The start of this year hasn’t been a great one in terms of cyber-attacks. From phishing emails, to ransomware attacks to malicious payloads, cybercriminals have used a range of techniques to strike well-established organisations around the world. 

As many of you know by now, logistics giant Toll Group was in the news last week after they were hit by a ransomware attack called Mailto. This attack is usually delivered via an infected email, that was most likely clicked on by an unsuspecting employee which then infects systems running on Microsoft Windows, encrypting files and leaving a ransom note on-screen. The note says that the only way to get the files back is by paying a ransom in Bitcoin. 

What would you do if you received an email claiming to boost your “immunity so you’re less likely to catch the Coronavirus”?  

My mission in 2020 is to ensure that, on my watch, no business becomes compromised and its reputation impacted by cybercrime. It’s a bold ambition, because cybercriminals are more ruthless and sophisticated than ever before.   

To celebrate the end of another successful year, we launched incentive programs for our managed partners and resellers from October to December 2019.
