Description: Info-Dense CyberSecurity Site
I have been talking lately about Ransomware a lot because it has become a new risk and trend in the cybersecurity world. A survey states that 2 out of 3 organizations in 2021 have already been hit by Ransomware. It is no joke, as Ransomware attack potentialities are increasing by 29% year-over-year. Most organizations are still working and struggling to prevent these attacks in the first place. These attacks have drastically hit financial institutions, supply chain companies, managed IT services providers
In this detailed guide, I will discuss Ransomware protection, how one can test it, and whether you can detect this deadly malware via antivirus. So, let’s get started.
Ransomware takes companies’ digital hostage by encrypting their computers. It locks the data of the organization network as soon as the files enter the systems. The chances of infection increase when the device first detected for Ransomware isn’t quarantined or unplugged from the whole LAN or WAN network. To stop these security vulnerabilities, protection against Ransomware is a must. I recommend running a vulnerability scan by Kaspersky security software to identify the vulnerable endpoint devices.
