Unlike traditional ransomware, these attacks - often associated with nation-state actors - are designed to permanently destroy or corrupt data, leaving organizations with nothing to recover even if they were willing to pay.   Tune in on your favorite podcast platform as our guests also examine the security challenges of hybrid and cloud environments and explain why collaboration and information sharing are essential to staying ahead of increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.          ","author_name":"Feds At The Edge by FedInsider","author_url":"http:\/\/fedinsider.libsyn.com\/website","html":"
