Ransomware comes in two forms: blocking your users from accessing data and files, or demanding payment in exchange of unlocking your system. These hostile activities can infiltrate servers, computers, smartphones, tablets, or other electronic devices. In reality, nearly 40% of the victims who pay the ransom never get their data back and 73% of those that pay are targeted again later.
While you may believe your data is of no value to someone else, it is critical to your business operations. As the world moves to extended remote working environments, this type of organized criminal activity will only increase. Take proactive steps to defend yourself and your business, before your data, systems, and applications are lost.
