Ransomware: How to Protect Your Business

Ransomware attacks are among the most damaging cyber threats today. They encrypt critical files and demand payment, leaving businesses facing financial losses and reputational harm.

How Ransomware Works

Ransomware typically spreads through phishing emails, malicious downloads, or vulnerabilities in outdated software. Once active, it locks your files and demands payment—yet paying doesn’t guarantee recovery.

Preventing Ransomware Attacks

• Regular Backups: Keep secure, up-to-date copies offline or in the cloud.
• Employee Awareness: Train staff to spot phishing and suspicious attachments.
• Advanced Security Tools: Use strong firewalls, antivirus, and intrusion detection systems.
• Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Add extra protection for critical accounts and systems.

What to Do If You’re Attacked

• Don’t Pay the Ransom: Payment fuels attackers and doesn’t ensure file recovery.
• Use Decryption Tools: Explore available solutions for ransomware recovery.
• Restore from Backups: Rebuild systems using clean, recent backups.
