Ransomware is a major threat in today’s digital world, and many businesses have learned this the hard way. All business data is in the hands of cybercriminals, and there is no guarantee that fulfilling their demands will restore access. This often results in losing both the business and the ransom money—truly a rock-and-a-hard-place situation.

What is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that locks users out of their systems or encrypts their files until a ransom is paid. These attacks often begin with a phishing email or a malicious download, and once the ransomware is activated, it spreads quickly, locking down critical systems and data.

The Devastating Impact of Ransomware

Ransomware can bring your business to a standstill. The immediate consequences include loss of access to critical data, disruption of operations, and potential financial losses. Even if the ransom is paid, there is no guarantee that your data will be restored. Additionally, paying the ransom can encourage further attacks and may not comply with legal requirements.

How Ransomware Attacks Happen

1. Phishing Emails: Cybercriminals use phishing emails to trick employees into downloading ransomware or clicking on malicious links.

2. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Exploits: Attackers exploit vulnerabilities in RDP to gain access to your systems and deploy ransomware.

3. Drive-By Downloads: Users unknowingly download ransomware from compromised websites or through malicious ads.
