Ransomware attacks are one of the most prevalent cyber threats today. These malicious programs encrypt critical files, demanding payment for their decryption. For businesses, the consequences can be catastrophic—ranging from financial losses to reputational damage.
How Ransomware Works
Ransomware infiltrates systems through phishing emails, malicious downloads, or vulnerabilities in software. Once active, it locks down files and demands a ransom to unlock them. However, even paying doesn’t guarantee file recovery.
Preventing Ransomware Attacks
1. Regular Backups
Maintain up-to-date backups stored offline or in secure cloud environments.
2. Employee Awareness
Train employees to recognize phishing attempts and suspicious links.
3. Advanced Security Tools
Use robust firewalls, antivirus software, and intrusion detection systems.
4. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Add an extra layer of protection to sensitive systems.
What to Do If You’re Attacked
- Don’t Pay the Ransom: Paying incentivizes attackers and doesn’t ensure data recovery.
- Use Decryption Tools: Explore available tools for ransomware recovery.
- Restore from Backup: Rebuild systems using clean, up-to-date backups.
