What You Can Buy for the Same Cost as Malware

Malware is easier to use and more affordable than ever, making the barrier to entry especially seamless for modern-day cybercriminals - no matter how skilled they are or how deep their pockets run.

And guess what? Despite their affordability, these malicious tools can be quite effective, and your business could be the next victim. That's why it's critical to shore up your anti-malware defenses to help protect your valuable information.
