Ransomware: Doing nothing is not an option

Ransomware attacks are growing at an alarming rate and may very well be the single biggest security threat to your organization in 2017. These threats are not only growing in frequency but they are also becoming more sophisticated, making them harder to stop and allowing them to spread quickly.

Ransomware: Prepare for the growing threat

The only way to combat this threat is by taking a proactive approach.  Ransomware is different than other forms of malware that can be detected after infection and then removed. By the time you recognize you have been attacked by ransomware it is too late. When a ransomware attack occurs, your data is encrypted by the hackers and becomes inaccessible to you until you pay the requested ransom and then you have to hope the hackers are honorable and unlock your data.
