Don’t Be a Ransomware Victim

Ransomware is a type of malware that lets attackers find and encrypt your most important data. They then offer to provide the decryption key only if you pay a ransom, within a short time.  This is the number one IT security challenge that you face today, with resource-limited small and mid-size businesses the most likely targets.

Cybercriminals exploit a variety of threat vectors, including email, network traffic, user behavior, and application traffic to insert ransomware. Without a comprehensive security strategy that secures all these vectors, you are almost certain to become a victim.

• 47% of businesses have been affected by ransomware.
• The FBI reports that $209 million was paid to ransomware criminals in the first quarter of 2016.
• 59% of ransomware infections are delivered via email attachments and embedded URLs.
