Ransomware - An Expert Explains

The Jason Durden Show

Jul 2 2021 • 26 mins

We've heard a lot about ransomware attacks in the news as of late - the Colonial Pipeline attack and the JBS attack are just two that have made the news recently. I thought it would be good to reach out to an expert in cybersecurity to explain in simple terms what ransomware is and what it does to computer systems.

Jason Quader has been working in the IT and cybersecurity industry for 25 years. He knows his stuff when it comes to securing data. He also tells us how personal computers can be infected as well and how to safeguard your computer.

As always I thank you for listening! Please remember to subscribe, rate, and review!
