Protect All Endpoints From Ransomware
By Omry Farajun, President, Storage Guardian
If you think your business is safe from ransomware, consider the following from the U.S. Department of Justice: in 2016, more than 4,000 ransomware attacks were launched each day, a 300 percent increase from 2015. And it’s not just big enterprises being targeted. Another industry survey found more than half of SMBs found themselves devoting considerable time and money resources to ransomware attack recovery last year.
The reasons for this epidemic are multi-fold:
- Employees, even those who have undergone security awareness training, are notoriously careless and will continue to be tricked by increasingly sophisticated code-bearing emails designed to introduce malicious programing into an organization’s database.
- Security software simply cannot keep up with evolving nature of ransomware. Cyber terrorist software constantly morphs to evade detection by security solutions, quickly rendering the best anti-malware/anti-ransomware solutions ineffective.
- Too many organizations give in to the criminals’ demands. This encourages cyber terrorists to expand their operations. In fact, it’s not unusual for them to return to the same company repeatedly once they realize how easy it is to get paid.
