Avoid Ransomware, Avoid Future Problems

 By now, we all know not to click links sent to us by email “princes”. 

However, avoiding ransomware has gotten harder with bots who appear like real people online. Ransomware can be dangerous not only to you but to your coworkers and company. All it takes is one link click and suddenly, anyone who is connected to your shared network is at risk too. 

Here are some tips to avoid becoming a ransomware victim: 

● Train your staff to know what to look for, like a suspicious email

● Get a high-quality, business-class antivirus protection

● Maintain reliable backups, both online and offsite

● Keep your software and hardware up to date 

Ransomware can be especially tricky for businesses because of the hold ransomware can have on your data. Ransomware effects don’t just go away on their own or over time. Here are some of the potential effects of falling victim to ransomware: 

● Financial loss

● Data loss 

● Reputational damage

● Personal contact information leaks
