Have You Heard Of Ransomware?
According to the CISA, Ransomware is a form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering any files and the systems that rely on them unusable.
Malicious actors then demand ransom in exchange for decryption, which can be thousands of dollars.
What Can Help Prevent Ransomware Attacks?
Conducting regular vulnerability scans on your network can help prevent attacks before they begin. This is done by ensuring your network is secure, and not letting computers from outside of your organization in.
Backing up your devices can help tremendously with ransomware attacks. Since you have all of your files backed up offsite, or somewhere the hacker hasn’t gained access, you can simply not pay the ransom, and not suffer the consequences of important having files deleted.
Ransomware can be further prevented, and all it takes is reporting it to authorities. Save this link, or refer back if you ever experience a ransomware attack, to report it.
Installing regular updates on your computer is crucial. The most important aspect of your computer’s security is the operating system itself, which if regularly patched, can prevent your computer from being accessed by an outside source.
