Ransomware Assessment
Ransomware: A Menace That Keeps Evolving
Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents users from accessing their devices or network until a ransom payment is made. It is frequently propagated through phishing emails and through compromised web pages. Cyber threats have become more advanced with the rise of new strategies such as double extortion, where attackers encrypt the data and threaten to release it to the public domain.
Why Do You Need Ransomware Assessment?
Ransomware may have been around for years, but it has only gained real traction with hackers in the past few years. Their strength lies in encryption technology that is able to secretly lock sensitive data and demand payment through cryptocurrency to release it.
Losses associated with ransomware amounted to approximately twenty billion dollars excluding losses from indirect costs such as loss of reputation. It’s estimated to reach beyond 260 million by the next decade.
Ransomware attacks have increased rapidly, with experts predicting that 37% of organizations and businesses will be affected in the near future.
Accorian’s Proven Approach
The strategy we have developed covers the most important aspects for your company to ensure readiness against ransomware:
Who is at Risk?
Individuals that are a part of the society which uses at least a couple of data-storing devices and instruments connected to a computer network are susceptible to be attacked. Such people include ordinary individuals, state departments, public order services, medical facilities, and all other organizations concerning critical infrastructures.
Recovering from a ransomware attack sometimes poses more challenges than one would anticipate and normally involves seeking the help of a data recovery specialist for instance. Even when the ransoms are paid, companies cannot be certain that retrieval of the files would take place.
Companies with good backup schemes, preferably supported by a good plan for ransom and business recovery, are more resilient to such secondary threats. However, the logical strategy is to assess proactive measures to avoid these threats altogether. Accorian can help you with all of these concerns.
