In this digitized world, data is accessible at the fingertips 24/7 and has improved the way people live and productivity and efficiency within organizations. However, security concerns have also taken a toll on reliability and sociability. Cyberattacks such as ransomware – malware, Trojans, phishing, spam, and viruses – cause organizations millions of dollars in damages and productivity loss. This annotated bibliography explores literature on the issues of malware and how to recover from and prevent disastrous attacks.
