Written by Centrality Marketing Team | Sep 3, 2024 9:56:18 AM

Ransomware attacks have become one of the most pervasive and damaging threats in today's digital landscape.

With the potential to cripple businesses, disrupt services, and extort significant sums of money, these attacks are a serious concern for organisations of all sizes. However, by implementing best practices to protect your data, you can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to ransomware.

Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to encrypt your files, rendering them inaccessible until a ransom is paid. Attackers typically deliver ransomware through phishing emails, compromised websites, or by exploiting vulnerabilities in software. Once ransomware is activated, it quickly spreads across the network, locking down data and demanding payment in exchange for a decryption key.
