The four keys to staying safe from ransomware
A $75 billion problem
Ransomware – software that holds your computer or your data hostage – is the single biggest cyber threat facing small businesses and private individuals today.
In the last three months of 2016 alone, more than 400 varients of ransomware were cataloged by security experts.
The average ransomware attack results in two days of downtime and lost revenue for small businesses, not to mention thousands of dollars of remediation costs.
One industry-leading security company estimated the total cost of dealing with ransomware in 2016 was over $75,000,000,000.
“Datto suggests that the financial impact of this brand of cybercrime starts in the range of $75 billion each year.” – The Atlantic, September, 2016
