The number of ransomware attacks on public institutions is skyrocketing. Districts must remain alert and aware to keep their students safe and their organizations running smoothly. iboss Co-founder and CEO, Paul Martini, explains how districts can prepare.

The New York Police Department's database of fingerprints was knocked offline due to ransomware. The malware was introduced to the network via a contractor who was installing a digital display, which turned out to be infected. 

iboss + FireEye Cloud Network Security is designed as an advanced threat and breach detection solution to protect end traffic, users, devices, networks, assets, and data from known and unknown threats. The new solution combines container-based security from iboss with FireEye detection engines and threat intelligence. With support for a wide range of devices, PCs, Macs, laptops, cellphones and IoT, customers can set access policies that follow users and devices wherever they go.

Simon Eappariello, iboss SVP of Product and Engineering, explains that IT departments should have one consistent security posture across all the devices that hold their information as mobile devices are just as prone to malware. It is essential that organizations secure and manage all devices cohesively under one policy.
