Computer Worms: How Self-Replicating Malware Spreads Without You
Unlike other malware that requires a user to click a file, computer worms exploit system vulnerabilities to copy themselves across networks automatically, creating a silent and rapid threat.
Data Breaches
How Data Loss Prevention Works: The Mechanics Behind the Controls
DLP systems function by establishing a baseline of normal behavior, then blocking anomalies that deviate from that pattern, rather than simply scanning for specific file types.
