Edge Computing And Ransomware: The Evolving Landscape Of Telecom And Cybersecurity
siliconANGLE, Monday, November 20,2023
The telecommunications sector is going through a period of massive change, with a significant shift toward edge computing. Simultaneously, ransomware is becoming an increasingly complicated threat.
Since 2019, ransomware has grown by 466% and is being used as a precursor to physical war, as seen in the Russia conflict in Ukraine, according to a report released by Ivanti Software Inc. With ransomware becoming a household word, it's important to give all organizations full visibility of their environments - especially given the reported frequency of cyberattacks today, according to David Shepherd (pictured, left), global vice president of sales engineering at Ivanti.
'We want to embrace the edge, and that is the way we're going to move,' he said. 'But customers are mindful of the complexity that's involved in that. And that, lends thought to how are we going to deal with those complexities.'
