Am I Safe From A Ransomware Attack?

While ransomware attacks have been in the news quite a bit lately, the threat of ransomware attacks is hardly new. In fact, ransomware attacks occur across the globe on an average of every 11 seconds. As criminals become more adept at attacking businesses of all sizes, are you asking yourself “Is my business safe from a ransomware attack?”

In order to fully answer this question, one must have a better understanding of ransomware and how it works. Ransomware, also known as ransom malware, is a type of programming that prevents users from accessing their system and/or data. Sometimes the culprits will threaten to release sensitive information, while other times they simply restrict access or delete information until the ransom is paid. Regardless, it can be both embarrassing and crippling for a company or organisation.
