We at Chirico Scientific believe strongly that the safety and security of modern business starts with constant vigilance of information technology systems. The recent ransomware attacks on critical computer systems globally should be a wake-up call to businesses that they are not immune to this type of cyber warfare. It is highly unlikely that this will be that last we hear of attempts to disrupt and endanger businesses. Until businesses prioritize their technology systems as highly as their stock price, hackers will continue to exploit these weaknesses.
As the Washington Post explains “Security experts say the attack could have been prevented if many businesses had simply kept their machines up to date with the latest software. In reality, doing that may be more difficult than it sounds, either because of corporate cultures that don’t prioritize security or because of a lack of funding to upgrade to the latest and greatest.”
