Every business has information that cyber criminals will be interested in and victims are not always chosen but are more usually just targets of opportunity.
It’s a well-known fact that cyber-attacks are getting out of hand and that malware is continuing to increase exponentially. Recent research has shown that, on average, every third computer is infected with malware and the average employee has at least 2 malware infections each year. Cybercrime can also lead to loss in profitability for your business, making it all the more important for businesses to increase security.

A three-percent difference in detection rate is equal to 10.000 possibilities of infections each month.
