What is AKO?
AKO is a variant type of ransomware that can be separated into two categories. The difference between the two lies within the way that the victims are meant to make contact with the hacker and/or pay a ransom. When you’re the victim of an AKO attack of any nature, a ransom note is created as a text file that will show like this: ako-readme.txt. In one version, you will be directed to pay the ransom via a Tor site. In the other, there will be instructions to send an email to the cybercriminals. Both types of AKO will generate an id.key, dropping it into your folders that have encrypted files and renaming them all.

Smoke testing is a term used to describe the testing process for servers after patches are applied. 
Estimating an average time for patching servers and PCs can be a bit tricky. It can vary from one month to the next, depending upon the number and complexity of the patches released by your software vendors. You must consider all versions of operating systems and have a complete inventory of all your application software to do this job correctly. Our experience has shown that manual patching of systems takes on average of about 1.5 hours each.
This is a basic cost calculator for you to compute your typical monthly cost for patching your servers, PCs, laptops, tablets and associated application software. It also forms the basis for you to begin calculating your Return on Investment for software patching, or for comparison with alternatives to the manual process of patching operating systems and application software—such as Patch Management as a Service, also known as Vulnerability Management as a Service.
