But what is ransomware and who benefits from these attacks?
Ransomware is a malicious software that locks a device (laptop, pc, tablets, etc.) or encrypts the data contained in it, with the ultimate goal of taking money from its owner. In return, the creators of the ransomware attack promise - without any guarantee of course - to restore access to the device and make the data available again.
Hackers using ransomware are constantly evolving, with techniques that can access even the most modern front-line security systems. Old techniques, such as phishing, are still tools in their hands, but now new sophisticated methods including social engineering, Internet of Things and various vulnerabilities in information infrastructure are coming to the surface.
Ransomware is constantly creating and exploiting new vulnerabilities in the business information infrastructure. Looking for new ways to penetrate it, delete or intercept business data with the end result of stopping their activities and suffering both financially and operationally.
Therefore, the security managers of a company's information infrastructure are increasingly aware that resistance and protection from ransomware cannot be achieved just by securing endpoints (laptops pc, tablets, etc.).
What is the solution?
Creating backup and restore policies is not the last line of defense against ransomware attacks, but the first and most important. Secure Backup must be an integral part of a comprehensive and multifaceted cyber security strategy. The data of a company are its most important asset and their possible loss is a very strong blow to both its daily operation and reputation.
