Ransomware is on the rise…Are you prepared?

Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts your files, holding them hostage until you pay a ransom. The sad truth is that cybercriminals are constantly evolving their tactics.  

Thankfully, there are ways for you to protect your data: 

• Regular Backups: With a recent backup in place, you can restore your files without paying a ransom, getting your business back up and running quickly. 

• Patch Management: Ensure your software is always up-to-date with the latest security patches to close vulnerabilities.  

• Employee Training: Regularly refresh your cybersecurity knowledge to keep safety top-of-mind.  

• Multi-Factor Authentication: This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second verification code in addition to a password.  

• Security Software: Invest in robust antivirus and anti-malware software to detect and block threats.
