In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, businesses rely heavily on technology to drive their operations.

At IQ Wired, we understand the importance of protecting your business from such risks and have tailored solutions and Providers to help you do everything you can to stay a step ahead of the threats.

Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts your data or locks you out of your systems, demanding a ransom, usually in cryptocurrency, in exchange for restoring access. This type of attack can cause major disruptions within a business, affecting operations, finances, revenue generation and reputation.

Businesses are especially vulnerable to these attacks for a number of reasons:

1. Humans, or human errors,are often found to be the weakest link. One of the most common ways ransomware makes it into a system is through phishing attacks, where an employee will unknowingly click on a malicious link. Employees should make sure they have strong passwords and keep an eye out for suspicious files / attachments, links and emails.
2. It is important that businesses prioritizebacking up their data. By regularly backing up data it limits the potential damage a ransomware attack could inflict. If files were to become corrupted this would also make restoring them much easier.
3. Ransomware is constantly evolving so it is crucial to make sure you stay on top of it. Making sure that software and hardware is constantly being updatedas soon as patches are made available minimizes vulnerabilities in your system.
