Yesterday, we discussed NHS's ransomware attack. Today we'll break down what ransomware is and how you can protect your business from it. Cyber criminals steal your sensitive information and hold it for ransom. In this situation, they encrypt stolen data, which gives them the power to demand a decryption key. How do you stay safe from ransomware attacks? 💻 Maintain backups: Always save a backup of all data. This can be stored in a cloud-based or offsite server. 🔥 Install firewall: A firewall is a network security device that blocks any unauthorised traffic from entering your network. 👨‍💻 Updating software: Software updates patch any vulnerable pathways for hackers to enter your system. #TipTuesday #Tips #Awareness #CyberAttack #CyberSecurity #CyberAlert #CyberAwareness #IT #Lily #RansomwareAttack
