Prepare for, recognise, and survive ransomware attacks with this essential guide, which sets out clearly how ransomware works, to help business leaders better understand the strategic risks, and explores measures that can be put in place to protect the organisation.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software, or malware, that encrypts data on a computer making it unusable. A malicious cyber criminal holds the data hostage until the ransom is paid. If the ransom is not paid, the victim's data remains unavailable. Cyber criminals may also pressure victims to pay the ransom by threatening to destroy the victim's data or to release it to the public. Without cyber-security, companies cannot defend themselves at the time of the breach. It is impossible to stop cyber-attacks from occurring by relying on antiviruses.

Cybersecurity experts agree: No one security measure is foolproof to defend against attacks. Ransomware is a new threat. It comes from nowhere and can potentially lock you out of your data and applications until a ransom is paid, making it difficult to recover. These cybercriminals are extremely skilled and motivated. They want to access as much confidential personal information as possible. Security specialists recommend using every tool at your disposal, including draconian measures like backups, encrypting data files, redacting sensitive information on your devices and firewalls.

In a world of digital technology, it’s easy to forget one sobering fact: Our identity can be stolen from under our noses, with one click of the mouse, propelling us into nightmares in a matter of minutes, anytime, anywhere, and on any one of our darling gadgets. Cybercrimes, malware, botnets, and all forms of digital threats are ever more sophisticated, waiting in the shadows for that one opportunity to steal your sensitive information.
