New Ransomware On The Rise - Attacks Now! | Get Protected - Avast
Top 5 Security Threads in 2018
1. Crime-As-A-Service (CaaS) Expands Tools and Services
Cryptoware will be the leading malware in the coming years as a very sophisticated form of attack.
2. The Internet of Things (IoT) Adds Unmanaged Risks
Companies adopts IOT very fast without protection for these devices. All devices are connected
now and has many vulnerabilities that has not been secured at all.
3. Supply Chain Remains the Weakest Link in Risk Management
Organizations and suppliers share a lot of information and direct control is lost in the process.
4. Regulation Adds to Complexity of Critical Asset Management
More regulations (GDPR) will increase complexity for companies already struggling.
5. Unmet Board Expectations Exposed by Major Incidents
Board members do not understand the complexity and time frame of implementing these security flaws by CTO's (Chief Technology Officer)and hence loopholes appear.

PPK Tech has been using Avast for 10 years.
Thank you for the information! Will make use of avast? What do you think about Windows bitdefender?
If you use Bitdefender then stick with it as it is a very good malware detector.
The Avast free edition goes head to head with the R200 Bitdefender plus. Avast: 99.6%, Bitdefender: 99.9% detection rate.
Windows has their own antivirus called Windows defender and it's already installed on Windows, but I would install a second antivirus to be safe. Thanks:)
Thank you for your recommendations @ppktech. I just had a bad run with viruses and malware. My son put off Bitdefender because he wanted to install something and the program would not allow it. And the moment he did that my laptop was under siege with this viruses. It took him days to get it back to functioning!
Great post! We already use Avast! Upvoted!
Good to know. I am a bit of a fanboy.
