There’s a Reason We Make Such a Big Deal About Ransomware

Of all the threats out there that loom over businesses, it seems as though ransomware is one of the most feared. It’s certainly one of the threats we talk about the most… and there’s good reason for this, too. If we seem to be overly alarmist, we aren’t. Ransomware truly is a considerable enough threat to warrant so much, well, consideration, and there’s a simple reason why this is.

The Reason: Ransomware Doesn’t Stop Hurting

Let’s run through a hypothetical ransomware attack for a moment and take note of all the occasions that the attacker has the opportunity to do damage to your business.

So, even if the victim manages to make it through the ransomware attack having done everything right (besides being infected, of course)—maintaining a backup, quickly wiping and implementing said backup, and communicating with everyone who may have been impacted—they could still wind up losing in the end.

Hence, Why It is So, So Important to Prevent Ransomware Infections

The damage that ransomware causes is extensive and long-lasting, making it absolutely critical that you have a few key protections in place to help prevent it. Things like the aforementioned backup preparations, along with user training to help minimize the risk of a successful infection, can help you eliminate a lot of the risk your business faces.

We can help you do all of the above and more. Give us a call at PHONENUMBER to find out more about what we can do for you.
