Don’t get held hostage by ransomware. Head over to the Sophos Anti-Ransomware Hub

According to official data, in 2016 alone, hackers have taken over $1 Billion in the form of ransoms from users trying to retrieve their files after being infected with ransomware.

Ransomware is the most successful malware attack today. It works by locking up your files and crippling your systems until you’ve handed over money. And, one of the biggest problems in the fight against ransomware is the constantly reinvented attacks.

Cybercriminals are finding new methods of spreading the malware, evading detection and even developing ransomware that deletes itself as soon as files are encrypted so that even IT security teams are unable to uncover what variant is on the system.

Ransomware has the potential to cause massive disruption to an organization’s productivity. So it’s vital to understand how to build the best possible defense against it.

The producers of ransomware aren’t just idly waiting for their bit of malware to hit its target. They work in professional teams, constantly updating and enhancing new variants of ransomware – and if you’re caught, the consequences can be severe.

So, with ransomware making headlines for all of the wrong reasons, the pressure is on to put together a top of the line defense.  Starting from scratch can be very tough and time consuming. Sophos can make it easier for you. What you can do? Head over to the Sophos Anti-Ransomware Hub and grab your free anti-ransomware toolkit.
