7 Painful Consequences of Ransomware

Loss of data access is only one of the impacts ransomware can have on businesses…

  1. It’s not just the ransom but the time and money you need to invest in tracking down the security holes that allowed the initial attack.
  2. Zero productivity while your employees are locked out of the data and apps they need to perform routine tasks and support your customers.
  3. The infection can spread to your other locations, cloud backups, and to customers and partners who log in to services provided by your IT infrastructure.
  4. In industries like healthcare and finance a ransomware attack can trigger regulatory scrutiny and legal action if it is found that reasonable precautions were not taken to prevent breaches.
  5. Your business reputation can take a hit when an attack discloses proprietary information.
  6. Delays in information access and information flow can put lives at risk when systems in healthcare, law enforcement, and government bog down.
  7. After the cost of cleanup and ransom, the money has to come from somewhere, resulting in painful budget cuts across the organization.
