Hollywood, Florida – May 19, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —

Ransomware affects organizations of all sizes, from small businesses to major law enforcement agencies. Numerous organizations, including the NFL and the BBC, were victims of this type of attack in 2016. Thankfully, they were back up and running in a short period of time, but this should be of concern to all, as nobody can predict who will be hit. Every organization needs to learn from past mistakes they and others have made when working to prevent an attack of this type.

“Hackers manage to access systems on a regular basis, even when measures are put into place to prevent this. Cybercriminals discover new ways to strike, and many organizations find it hard to keep up. A business or non-profit organization typically needs assistance in the event their computer system is compromised. For this reason, many organizations choose to turn to Monster Cloud (https://MonsterCloud.com/) for help in securing their computers,” Zohar Pinhasi, spokesperson for MonsterCloud.com, states.

An easy way to avoid being forced to ransom files is to regularly make backups of all important information. Organizations that do so find they are able to take their system offline to reformat it. This is the method used in many attacks and will be of great benefit to those who find their computer systems cannot be saved. The backup allows the files to be accessed using other means.

“Other steps may be taken to protect a computer from this type of attack. Anyone making use of a computer needs to be aware of what they click on at all times. This includes ads, website and emails, as all can be easily compromised. For example, a person should never click on an attachment if they don’t recognize the sender or respond to a message about a financial account. It’s best to go directly to the financial institution’s website and enter information there,” Pinhasi continues.

Paying the ransom doesn’t guarantee the organization will recover their files, thus other steps need to be taken to protect sensitive data. Unfortunately, there is no one method to deal with this issue, therefore businesses often need to turn to experts for assistance. Furthermore, the third party provider needs to be available at all times, as cybercriminals don’t follow normal business hours.
