Case Study (Conclusion)

The 2017 WannaCry Ransomware Attack, which had a detrimental impact on the entire world, was widely acknowledged. As stated before, this attack could have been avoided by using an intelligent endpoint security solution. Moreover, this is where my major project comes as my major project is about endpoint security. Endpoint security is a subfield in cybersecurity that protects entry points and endpoints from being used by cybercriminals (Kamruzzaman et al., 2022). In addition, understanding the dangers of ransomware and learning how to prevent these attacks is very beneficial, considering that our world is constantly evolving and almost everything is connected to technology. This research also provides how this attack can occur. The primary goal of this study is to highlight the risks and effects of ransomware.
