## Last week we hosted an informative webinar on today's ransomware threats with our security partner Sophos. Watch a recording of the webinar below.

I am sure you are seeing the explosion of ransomware in the headlines. Businesses of every size are targets and analysts estimate ransomware is on pace to be a $1B/year crime in 2016. Sophos Intercept X is their newly released anti-exploit tool, which stops hackers at the door and prevents zero-day attacks and exploits before they hit your system. Intercept X is designed to run alongside your existing AV and improve protection against advanced threats.
