How Your Business Can Prevent Ransomware Attacks

Q&A With Fidelity’s Director of I.T., Aron Pollak

As a leading provider of payment processing solutions for many businesses in the tri-state area, Fidelity keeps a close watch on emerging security threats—and unfortunately, in recent months, ransomware has been attacking businesses at growing rates.
