Ransomware is on every platform – don’t assume your mobile and tablets are safe Sophos reviews the most prominent risks from 2017, and what we can expect in 2018.ġ.

Whilst many consumers may live in denial that an attack like this will ever affect them, Sophos’ research revealed the opposite. This year’s Malware Report from Sophos reveals just how malware is being weaved into this everyday technology, and how, year on year, we are seeing cybercriminals become more intelligent in their attacks, making it increasingly important for consumers to be wary of the dangers out there. However, the downside of living in this hyper-connected society means that people are also extremely vulnerable to cyberattacks. Since that's not going to happen we'll see more of the same until someone comes along with some exclusive killer features or pfSense makes some big mistake.Article by Harish Chib, Vice President, Sophos, Middle East & Africaįrom online gaming to mobile apps and wearable tech, technology is used at almost every touch point in people’s day-to-day lives. If all of options in the market were to launch today with no history or user bias we would likely see a different distribution.

Those users in turn ask questions that add to the knowledge pool and some of them will sing it's praises leading to even more users hopping on and repeating the cycle. As mentioned above, because of it's success pfSense has already seen almost any question you could ask be answered and when new users see that they decide to go with the product they find the easiest to research. When software like pfSense becomes the de facto standard it makes it very difficult for others to take much of that market share without truly disruptive features. I don't have much experience at all with XG or UTM, but as to your question about why you don't see it mentioned more here and in other communities I feel a huge part is inertia.
