Broadcom Unveils Tool for Fighting Ransomware Attacks

Broadcom announced Tuesday the launch of Emulex Secure host bus adapters to encrypt data as it moves between servers and storage. “Encrypting mission-critical data is no longer a nice-to-have, but a must-have,” especially with the rise in ransomware attacks, Broadcom said. The average attack in 2024 cost victims $5.37 million, the company said: “Upcoming generative AI and quantum computers magnify the risk if data is not encrypted at all points in the data center including the network.”
