Companies are experiencing larger breaches on a global scale. Data Breaches Expose 4.1 Billion records in first six months of 2019. Staff training and technology go hand in hand in fighting off hackers. Yet about one-third of employees aren’t receiving any training related to cybersecurity and those that do receive proper training may not receive more than 2 hours of training per year! Cyber attacks target businesses of all sizes and industries causing havoc for these companies who in turn: lost trust with their clients, days of productivity, and millions of dollars.

How to Stay Protected – Best Practices

Though ransomware can be an expensive, and difficult software to deal with, it is easy to prevent if you take the right steps:

  • Do not open any attachment or click any email links, even if it appears to be from a sender you know
  • Always use an antivirus software and firewall
  • Do not use a Wi-Fi connection that is public, unless you are using VPN (virtual private network) encryption.
  • Use a browser extension that will detect malicious websites
  • Back up data each and every day. This allows companies to recover files that were saved before the ransomware set in.
  • Always use the most recent release of your favorite browser, and make sure you update to the latest version of Windows or iOS when it is available.
