The whitepaper, “Business Guide to Ransomware: Understand, Analyze & Protect,” offers guidance for businesses to make better informed decisions on keeping devices and networks clear of ransomware and malware.
Ransomware attacks continue to dominate the news, with organizations of every type - from healthcare providers to police departments – making extortion payments to regain access to their data. The FBI estimates ransomwares profits have soared making it a $1 billion industry. AppRiver’s guide will help businesses learn how ransomware works, how to identify key entry points, tips for preventing attacks and how to eliminate malware in emergent situations.
“It would be difficult to overestimate the business risks of ransomware attacks. Businesses of all sizes need to learn how these malicious attacks can infiltrate networks, how to reduce exposure and how to implement best practices for eliminating the malware,” said Troy Gill, Senior Security Analyst. “We’ve assembled key learnings on this topic to help businesses make informed decisions and reduce liabilities. The guide provides practical, actionable steps to increase security and protect your critical business assets.”
AppRiver’s SecureTide keeps spam and malware out of email and SecureSurf actively shields networks from external and internal threats. Both services help stem the risks of ransomware.
