Good digital hygiene will lower your risk, and these six tips can help.
This past April saw a milestone: the 100,000th common vulnerability and exposure (CVE). Although we’ve hit a major mark in CVE identifiers, Cisco found that the total number of high-impact vulnerabilities is actually decreasing year over year.
