ransomware

Did you catch Digital Minds’ webinar this past month? The rise of ransomware in businesses has skyrocketed. According to SonicWall reported 638 million attacks in 2016, a rise of 167 times the amount in 2015. No one is exempt from being held hostage!

Why the rise?

Because it’s cheap to deploy and people pay money for it! It’s a lucrative business for a small investment on the hackers’ part. Data is the lifeblood of business these days. Without it, your business can come to a grinding halt and huge profit losses. (Not to mention if you choose to pay the ransom--- which you shouldn’t!)

What ransomware really costs you

Ransomware costs you more than just the ransom money. It costs you downtime, loss of client’s trusts, data recovery fees, reputation, and more. Think about your critical line of business applications and how that affects your business when they are down. How long could you go without them? What if ALL your data was wiped away?
