Malware FAQ
What is malware?
Malware is malicious software designed to damage devices, steal information, access networks, encrypt data, or disrupt business operations. Common types of malware include ransomware, spyware, trojans, worms, botnets, cryptojackers, keyloggers and wipers.
How does malware infect devices?
Malware can infect devices through phishing emails, malicious attachments, unsafe downloads, fake apps, compromised websites, software vulnerabilities, infected USB devices and social engineering attacks. Some malware exploits unpatched systems or zero-day vulnerabilities before security tools can detect them.
How can organisations protect against malware?
Organisations can reduce malware risk by keeping software updated, applying security patches, using anti-virus and endpoint protection, backing up data, restricting downloads, monitoring suspicious activity and training employees to recognise phishing, malware warning signs and unsafe online behaviour.
