Protecting Network From Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware is the fastest growing malware threat, targeting users of all types—from home users to corporate networks. On average, more than 4,000 ransomware attacks have occurred daily since January 1, 2016. This is a 300-percent increase over the approximately 1,000 attacks per day seen in 2015.
Understand the Rise of Ransomware Attacks
Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with cybercriminals using encrypted files and distributed architecture to launch attacks. These attacks not only lock up files and data but also spread across networks and target backup systems, making them more dangerous than ever. The goal of a ransomware attack is to extort money from the victim by threatening to delete or expose their data unless a ransom is paid.
