The recent discovery of the Citrix vulnerability and the impact it has on thousands of organisations has been widely covered in the media over the past days.

All organisations, including municipalities and governments, are exposed to the dangers of cybercrime on a daily basis.

But how can organisations and their clients protect themselves?
