Stopping Ransomware At The Hardware Level

 


When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, all broke lose on the Cybersecurity Threat Landscape.  For instance, many new threat variants emerged, and old ones resurfaced.  But probably the biggest threat to evolve was that of Ransomware.  As we all know, this is where a Cyberattacker literally holds your device hostage, and encrypts all of the files that are contained within it.  The only way to recover it is if you a ransom, usually by Bitcoin.

But again, this is no guarantee at all.  Only a very small handful of Cyber attacker groups actually delivered on their promise, and sent out the decryption algorithms to the victim.  Ransomware attacks have now become even deadlier, with the Cyberattacker selling PII datasets on the Dark Web, or even worse, launching extortion like attacks.

What can a business owner do?  Well in today’s podcast, we have the honor and privilege of interviewing Tom Ricoy, the Chief Revenue Officer at a Cybersecurity firm known as Cigent.  They have created many solutions so that you, the SMB owner, can mitigate the risks of a Ransomware attack.  Find out more by listening to this podcast, and the download link is right here:
