Given the recent events with the WCrypt (a.k.a., WannaCry, WannaCrypt, WannaCryptor) attacks, Evolver offers perspective on the current state of cybersecurity.

 

Evolver Vice Presidents, Chip Block and Dr. Tim Rudolph are frequent speakers and authors of many thought leadership articles and papers on the hot topic of cybersecurity. They offer their opinions on the proper course of action for government regulators and actionable items for organizations to implement immediately.
