As illustrated in my book “The Future of Digital Business Innovation: Trends and Practices”, the authors of malware attacks are very creative in manipulating susceptibility in desktop and server operating systems, avoiding detection by antivirus software and other complex security mechanisms used by corporate organizations.

While attackers continue to use social networks to distribute their malware, companies face the enormous challenge of dealing with evolving threats. In addition, companies rarely integrate sufficient preventive measures to mitigate these threats into their security strategies. In fact, modern malware has become more sophisticated and spreads rapidly due to the increasing use of social networks in corporate environments.

This phenomenon is therefore becoming extremely difficult to control and eliminate.
