Ransomware encrypts a victim's files and demands payment for the decryption key — a threat that can bring a business to a complete standstill.
How It Typically Spreads
Phishing emails with malicious attachments, compromised remote access credentials, and unpatched software vulnerabilities are the most common entry points.
The Best Defense: Backups
Regular, tested, off-site backups mean a ransomware attack becomes a recovery inconvenience rather than a catastrophic, business-ending event.
Additional Layers
Employee phishing awareness training, prompt software updates, and limiting who has administrative access all reduce the odds of a successful attack in the first place.
