One of the most frightening things about modern cyber-attacks is that a breach
can remain undetected within networks for weeks, months or even years. This time
gives hackers the luxury of compromising more systems and extracting
information.

The recent Target, Home Depot, JPMorgan Chase and Sony Pictures Entertainment
breaches are examples of how destructive malware can be to an organization's
reputation and financial stability. Moreover, the severity and frequency of
malware attacks has increased significantly in the past year.

Is facial recognition a threat on Facebook and Google?

Photo recognition is so good on Facebook and Google that they don't even need to
see your face to ID you. Now what?
