Ransomware and Malware
Two of the most insidious threats organizations face are ransomware and malware. In 2023, the number of malicious virus attacks on organizations through these threats has risen by over 70%. As the capabilities of the internet and technology increase so do the capabilities of attackers, that is why more than ever before it is important to be protected.
Ransomware is a malicious software that, once it infiltrates a system, encrypts critical files or entire networks, rendering them inaccessible. The attackers then demand a ransom, typically in cryptocurrency, in exchange for a decryption key. Ransomware attacks can bring a business to a grinding halt, disrupt operations, and lead to financial losses and reputational damage. The threat of ransomware doesn’t stop at data encryption. In some cases, attackers steal sensitive data before encrypting it, threatening to release it publicly unless the ransom is paid. This adds an extra layer of risk, potentially exposing your organization’s confidential information.
Malware, short for malicious software, is a broader category encompassing various types of harmful software. Malware can include viruses, Trojans, spyware, and more. It can infect systems through malicious email attachments, compromised websites, or even infected software downloads.
Once malware infiltrates a system, it can steal data, compromise security, and damage or disrupt operations. Some malware operates silently in the background, making it challenging to detect until it has caused significant harm.
The impact of ransomware and malware attacks on organizations can be devastating. Data loss, financial losses, downtime, and reputational damage are just a few of the potential consequences.
