Worms For Risk Businesses

Here's what matters:

• Unlike many attacks that rely on user error, a worm can slip into a network undetected and spread by replicating across connected systems
• One infected machine can quickly become dozens as the malware (new window) copies itself and probes for new targets
• This self-propagating behavior is what made outbreaks like the infamous NotPetya so disruptive
• Malicious software (malware) is no longer limited to annoying pop-ups or harmless viruses
• It’s a sophisticated threat that targets sensitive data, corporate networks, and mobile devices
