Emmy-Award-winning investigative journalist Rich McHugh sat down with PacketWatch CTO Michael McAndrews to better understand how and why cyber criminals target their victims.

They discussed the impact of malware and ransomware on companies and how to prepare for a cyberattack. Michael demonstrated how PacketWatch cybersecurity analysts use our proprietary tools to identify anomalous network activities and respond to a cyber incident.

Rich also spoke with a PacketWatch client about her experience with ransomware attacks and how organizations can protect themselves.

“Sometimes, the criminals don’t even know who they’ve attacked. They’re simply casting a wide net and opportunity knocked when somebody clicked on a link or went to a bad website and got swept up in ransomware.”
