New research from a cybersecurity provider, Hornetsecurity, has found that a third of organisations do not provide cybersecurity training to remote workers.

Global email security and backup provider, Hornetsecurity, has announced a major push into several different regions across the world.

"The rise in unwanted emails, now found to be nearly 41%, is putting email users and businesses at significant risk."

There is an urgent need for greater backup for Microsoft Teams, with users sending confidential and critical information via the platform.

Nearly a quarter of businesses have suffered a ransomware attack, with a fifth occurring in the past 12 months.

A new survey by Hornetsecurity has found 93% of the IT industry will adopt hybrid cloud technology within five years.

Almost 1 in 10 ransomware victims paid the ransom, according to a new report by Hornetsecurity.

User-compromised passwords and phishing attacks were the reason for 62% of all security breaches reported.

The move is a culmination of a medley of acquisitions made by Hornetsecurity recently, following the January 2019 acquisition of Spamina, a Spanish cloud email security company, as well as EveryCloud, its British market partner, in early 2020.
