What is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a type of malicious software that blocks any access to a computer system or files. It works by encrypting the victim’s files, networks and systems, and then demanding a ransom payment to decrypt the files. Cyber criminals usually offer to provide a decryption key upon payment of the ransom, however this is not guaranteed. Ransomware is becoming increasingly sophisticated, making it difficult for organisations to detect and mitigate an attack before it leads to a data breach or other malicious activities.

The Challenge

The main challenge of ransomware for an organisation is protecting your data and systems from attacks. Additionally, organisations face the risk of paying the ransom if you cannot recover your data successfully on your own. It is highly recommended that businesses invest in comprehensive cybersecurity services and solutions to protect your data and systems from these threats.
