Dan Slattery, a seasoned cybersecurity specialist, dives deep into the mounting challenges businesses face from ransomware attacks. His article, \"To pay or not to pay; protecting your business against the rising threat of ransomware,\" highlights the importance of robust security practices to prevent becoming serial targets of such nefarious activities.

In \"Where to focus your threat protection strategies this year,\" Slattery discusses the ever-evolving landscape of cybercrime and the necessity for organisations to stay ahead of criminals with proactive threat protection strategies. He addresses the misconception that businesses have already achieved that level of preparedness.

With \"If you only keep one New Year’s resolution, protect your business,\" Slattery emphasises the critical need for SMBs to prioritise their cybersecurity measures amidst escalating cyber threats. This piece serves as a wake-up call, urging companies to preemptively tackle potential data breaches.

\"Governments playing catch-up with the changing face of crime\" sees Slattery examining the lag in government responses compared to the fast-evolving tactics of cybercriminals. He shares insights into how cybercrime has transformed over the years and underscores the urgency for governments to bridge this gap.
