Computer and Data Hijackers

What is ransomware? Ransomware is malicious software, or a computer virus, that infects a computer or computer system and renders its data useless by using strong encryption to lock the files. The cybercriminal holds the locked data hostage until a ransom is paid for an encryption key.

Here are 10 of the most important 2020 ransomware statistics to take into account as you consider how your organization plans to prevent ransomware from taking your data and computers hostage.*

Ransomware Threat Landscape in 2020/2021

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” is applicable when it comes to ransomware. Be proactive and protect yourself. We can help.

Keep Security Up-To-Date. Cybercriminals stay up-to-date on the latest software releases, and so should you! Consistently update security software and operating systems so you don’t become a victim. Upgrade any outdated and unpatched software and stay current on anti-virus rules and signatures.

Firewalls and Antivirus Software. Antivirus software and correctly installed firewalls can prevent malware from infecting your computer and data. Firewalls are used to identify and analyze various types of network traffic, filtering unwanted traffic out.

Be Wary of Suspicious Email and Pop-Ups. Treat every email with caution and inform your employees to do the same. Avoid clicking links inside dubious emails, look carefully at the email address of the sender, look for obvious typos and grammatical errors in the body. Without clicking on any links, hover over them to see the URL. A particular red flag should be raised if a Microsoft Office email invites you to enable macros to view its contents. Additionally, ransomware developers often use pop-up windows that advertise software products that remove malware.

What is a firewall?

Before the Internet took over the world, “firewalls” were more commonly associated with physical walls that were implemented during building construction to protect certain rooms from fire. While those firewalls still exist, most people associate firewalls with online security these days which created a new definition. Today, firewalls are a crucial facet of a computer network implemented to prevent unauthorized system access while still facilitating outward communications. Firewalls keep the bad stuff like hackers from the dark web from getting in. Think of it as an added layer of protection.

What is network security?

Network security is the practice of using various technology solutions and strategies to protect hardware, software and sensitive digital information from service disruptions and threats such as theft, malware, spyware, ransomware and other dangers online. If you’ve never heard of network security, you may be familiar with other synonymous terms such as cyber security, computer security, IT security or a few others.

If an employee uses the Dark Web on work devices, your network is at risk. With network security, IT specialists can monitor hacker forums for major red flags, for instance, direct mentions of employees or your business.
