What is Ransomware?
Ransomware is a type of highly destructive virus that infects network equipment and data centers. Cybercriminals attempt to exploit system and security flaws in order to obtain access to your company's data, encrypt it, and then demand payment to decrypt it. Ransomware has grown in volume, frequency, and strength throughout the years.
The intricacy and sophistication of current ransomware attacks demonstrate that complete ransomware prevention is unattainable. To stay secure and minimize escalating ransomware threats, organizations must constantly review and adopt advanced security solutions, as well as implement best practices to avoid getting hit.
Today in the world most challenges
Cybercriminals have turned to ransomware as the latest go-to method for assaulting and extorting organizations, employing a variety of variations including WannaCry, Cryptowall, Samas, Locky, and TeslaCrypt. WannaCry's current breakout was one of the largest and most damaging ransomware operations in history. Traditional signature-based antivirus and threat detection approaches have proven tragically inadequate in the face of such attacks.
