Ransomware attacks are on the rise, targeting businesses and individuals alike. These attacks encrypt your data and demand payment to release it. Here's how you can stay ahead:
- Understand the Threat: Ransomware can be delivered via phishing emails, malicious ads, or exploit kits on compromised websites.
- Invest in Advanced Security Solutions: Endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools can identify threats before they escalate.
- Never Pay the Ransom: There’s no guarantee attackers will release your files, and payment encourages further attacks.
- Have Multiple Backups: Store backups in different locations, including offline, to ensure data recovery.
Awareness and preparation are your best defenses against ransomware, a growing global concern.
