To protect against ransomware, you need a combination of secure, tested data backups and a layered defense strategy. The most effective approach follows CISA and NIST’s guidance: Maintain offline or immutable backups, implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) and network segmentation, keep software patched, and train staff to recognize phishing. If backups are clean, current, and tested, a ransomware attack becomes a recovery event rather than a catastrophe.
Discover how organizations can evolve from reactive incident response to proactive business resilience. This webinar explores strategies, frameworks, and best practices for strengthening cybersecurity and ensuring rapid recovery from cyber threats.
A ransomware attack is a targeted cybercrime in which malicious software encrypts or locks critical files, systems, or entire networks, rendering them inaccessible. The attacker then demands a ransom, typically in cryptocurrency, in exchange for a decryption key. These attacks can halt business operations, leak sensitive data, and cost millions in recovery. A ransomware attack can originate from phishing emails, software vulnerabilities, or exposed remote desktop access points. It is one of the most financially damaging threats facing organizations today.
