Phishing Emails:Comprehensive employee cybersecurity training to identify and avoid phishing attempts
In today's digital landscape, ransomware attacks have become an increasingly prevalent threat, with the FBI's Cyber Crime department receiving around 2,474 ransomware complaints in 2020 alone. However, the true scale of the problem is likely much larger, as many incidents go unreported.
As more and more organizations are being targeted by ransomware, there is a lot of discussion about preventing it from affecting businesses.

Ransomware can infiltrate your systems through various vectors, including phishing emails, "drive-by downloads," cracked/pirated software, and Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) vulnerabilities. To mitigate these risks, our experts recommend implementing robust security measures such as:
Drive-by downloads:Strict software policies to prevent the use of unauthorized or pirated applications
Cracked/Pirated Software:Regular software updates and patches to address known vulnerabilities
Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP):Secure remote access protocols and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for RDP connections
