Ransomware: protect your organisation

Ransomware is one of the most significant threats. A 153% increase in ransomware incidents was observed in 2023 compared with 2022. Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts your files and sensitive data, demanding a ransom to unlock them.

Protective measures

  • Regular software updates
  • Antivirus and anti-malware software
  • Secure backups (only 13% of the companies targeted managed to avoid paying the ransom thanks to a sound backup policy)
  • Two-factor authentication (2FA)
  • Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) Solutions
  • Ongoing staff awareness-raising
