Training Summary
Viruses, Trojans, Ransomware, Adware, Worms, Spybots, Rootkits, and Botnets: These are just a fraction of the threats that may be spying on someone’s activities, stealing their information, their resources, or their money—maybe even carrying out illegal activities on some victims behalf; the worst part is that all of this could be happening without a user even being aware. Advanced Malware is out there, deploying military grade cyber-security patterns, as well as applying impressive hiding, infecting, and mutating techniques, which may target an organization or an individual’s personal device at all times.
