Reply on security threats in organizations
Hey Manish,
You did a great work in taking part in this week’s discussion on security threats in organizations. Security threats pose a challenge to the organization because they tend to interfere with its data, and thus data may be corrupted, destroyed or stolen. I agree with you that, prerogative intensification, viruses and botnets are some of the top security threats facing organizations. However, I think malware and ransomware are other security threats to organizations (Gao et al., 2017). Malware comprises of worms and trojans that infect machines without being recognized, and they may destroy the data stored in those devices.
