  • Security Threats, They Are a Changin’

    November 17, 2021 Alex Woodie

Even IBM i shops, which so often are protected from the wider security storm, felt the panic and sense of helplessness of having their previous data held for ransom. But early indications are that the security threat we’re talking about this time next year may be entirely different.
