What Is NetWalker Ransomware?
NetWalker ransomware is a new campaign started by cybercriminals to infect hospitals and other healthcare networks by utilizing emails that appear to contain information about coronavirus (Covid-19). The email contains a .vbs attachment that “contains an embedded NetWalker Ransomware executable and obfuscated code to extract and launch it on the computer” (BleepingComputer). Alternatively, they also use misconfigured IIS-based applications to gather credentials. Although the NetWalker campaign is new, these strategies deployed by cybercriminals are already known.
Victims will know when they have been infiltrated as notice will be left behind for them to see. The notice will include information and instructions on how to obtain cryptocurrency in order to pay the requested ransom.

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.
