The relationship between computer hardware and software can be frustrating. Both require the other to function properly, but both also require individual attention. Virtualization makes this relationship more flexible, and we’ve got a rundown on a few of the best examples.
The benefits of virtualization in 2018
Virtual DR: The best anti-ransomware tool
From CryptoLocker to WannaCry, ransomware has grown in sophistication and scope over the past few years.
