This type of attack is increasing dramatically as we use our Web-browser as an imperative tool to work, live and play. We access our emails and the Web online, from wherever we happen to be. It is clear that as these attacks continue to evolve and become increasingly complex and sophisticated, an organization's defenses also need to evolve.
