Safeguard your business from threat and viruses like Ransomware
E mail Security
Special threat needs special protection. Increasingly business bare getting on cloud because of all the advantages it has. Emails have been the most dominant method of communication in corporations. With all the advantages that you get by using email services, there are serious threats that you need to care for.
The problem with enterprise communication is that you can never be sure who is mailing to whom increasing the risk of attack.Emails increases the risk of virus attack on your network. Because professional receive hundreds of emails everyday, people don’t think twice before opening the email increasing risk of attack on your network. One wrong click gives the hackers control of your business, customer information and confidential informations.There’s nothing worse in the field of technology than having a criminal in control of your network.
One of such threat is: Ransomware virus.
When a ransomware attack occurs, it can easily elevate from a potential data loss to potential identity theft to a data breach in the form of extortion.
Your business is not safe until you have special protection against specific viruses like ransomware.
It’s exasperating enough when your computer is sluggish because of a virus, but what if the virus installs embarrassing pornography on your screen or encrypts your data so you can’t read it? Ransomware attacks often use these tactics to demand you pay a ransom to remove the pornography or to access your files.
Ransomware can:
-
Prevent you from accessing Windows.
-
Encrypt files so you can't use them.
-
Stop certain apps from running (like your web browser).
They won’t give you the decrypt keys until you pay them the money and there is no guarantee that paying the fine or doing what the ransomware tells you will give access to your PC or files again.
This is so dangerous that even IT leaders like Microsoft issued warning against it.
Usually, the attackers specifically research and target a victim.The sensitive files are encrypted, and large amounts of money are demanded to restore the files. Due to the encryption of the files, it can be practically impossible to reverse-engineer the encryption or “crack” the files without the original encryption key – which only the attackers will have access to.
For example, there is a virus called Exx-route ransomware that demands Rs.50000 and doubles the ransom as you delay the payment. It also starts deleting your files if you delay the payment.
A good golden rule is to NEVER open any attachments unless you’re 100% sure that they’re safe.
But in huge companies with hundreds and thousands of employees with countless email conversation per day, this is not possible. As with most computer viruses, victims are often first targeted with a fraudulent email. If hackers can get victims to open an email and then download an attachment, then they can infiltrate their computer—and any computer associated with that computer’s network.If a victim pays a ransom and the files are not restored, there’s no way to demand a refund.Once a computer has been infected with ransomware, there’s often very little that a consumer can do.
Ransomware can get on your PC or network from nearly any source that any other malware (including viruses) can come from. This includes:
-
Visiting unsafe, suspicious, or fake websites.
-
Opening emails and email attachments from people you don’t know, or that you weren’t expecting.
-
Clicking on malicious or bad links in emails, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media posts, instant messenger chats, like Skype.
The hacker can be anywhere in the world.They pretend to be cyberpolice. A ransomware attack looks like this:
It can be very difficult to restore your PC after a ransomware attack – especially if it’s infected by encryption ransomware. With a enterprise with hundreds of employees from high to low IT knowledge, this method is not possible. One click of virus infected email from one employee can affect the entire network.
