Crypto & Ransomware
When Ransomware attacks it encrypts all files it finds, including databases and more disturbingly, backup files. This leaves the entire system unusable; it then posts a ransom demand, typically offering to send a decryption key in return for a significant sum of money sent via bitcoin. The only recourse in this situation is to recover affected Servers and PCs from backups and endure the downtime and interruption.
The true cost of Ransomware is not in paying the ransom, it is in the downtime and cost to reputation to your business. If ever there was a case in the Technology Industry where an ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure, it is with Ransomware protection and preparation. We design systems that Protect, Detect and Recover from these threats to the accepted industry standard of ISO 27001 (information Security) and ISO 22301 (Business Continuity).
