What did we learn from WannaCry?

from The ITPro Podcast

Five years ago, the security world was rocked by one of the most sudden and widespread ransomware outbreaks in history. Even now, organisations are still recovering from the damage done by WannaCry, and its shadow still looms large over the industry.While ransomware has remained a major threat for organisations over the last half-decade, we haven’t seen anything as globally impactful as WannaCry since then - so what (if anything) has the industry learned from the incident, and are we likely to see anything on a similar scale again? IEEE senior member and professor of cybersecurity at Ulster University Kevin Curran joins us this week to talk about the legacy of WannaCry.Visit https://bit.ly/ITPP-wannacry for more information on this subject.
