Do you have cloud security on your network? In case you have not implemented any cloud security so far it is time to put advanced malware protection in place and keep pace with the changing technology and prevent hackers from launching targeted ransomware attacks.
Ransomware is a malicious program which encrypts files on storage devices, computers or connected network. To regain the access of these encrypted files cyber hackers ask for “ransom” which you may have to pay to ensure that you get your data / information intact. These hackers use electronic payment methods such as Bitcoin which is tough-to-trace. Security researchers can determine the traffic flow of these transactions but to know the recipient account it is extremely difficult.
Such attacks are usually initiated through emails wherein an attached file or the link is embedded with an email. Ransomware is activated within seconds when you open the attached file or click on the link. It starts encrypting files on your computer or network devices resulting in your data being hacked unknowingly. These malicious websites often use zero-day exploits which identify vulnerability on your device and exploit it to activate ransomware on your device. Many SMEs pay ransom for this blunder as they don’t backup their Data or don’t have any other way to recover their data.
