Ransomware Attacks on the Rise… Are You Prepared?

Ransomware is in the news and has evolved into a multi-billion-dollar industry…

Are your IT defenses strong enough to prevent your critical systems from being held hostage and data from being lost?

Even with the best security tools, your employees can unwittingly download ransomware by opening an email attachment, clicking an advertisement, or following a link. This means a multi-pronged approach is required to effectively thwart these attacks, with employee training comprising a key element.

IT security experts note that attacks are happening everywhere – with increasing frequency and severity. And it’s not only pipeline companies, school systems, and local governments that are soft targets for criminals – smaller businesses are being hit as well.

Like the public sector, small and mid-sized businesses often do not have the necessary resources devoted to cybersecurity.

Consequently, many businesses are completely unprepared for a ransomware attack. Not only do they lack effective prevention, but there is also typically no plan for the inevitable downtime or any process in place to recover more quickly.
