Ransomware: The Growing Threat

Ransomware attacks have increased by 485% since 2020, with businesses of all sizes being targeted. These malicious attacks encrypt your critical data and demand payment for its release, often causing devastating downtime and financial losses.

Ransomware Attack Statistics

  • A business falls victim to ransomware every 11 seconds
  • The average ransom demand is now over £150,000
  • 60% of small businesses close within 6 months of an attack
  • Only 8% of organizations that pay the ransom get all their data back

Ransomware Prevention Checklist

Essential Protections Every Business Needs

  • Install and maintain endpoint protection software

  • Implement 3-2-1 backup strategy (3 copies, 2 media types, 1 offsite)
  • Enable multi-factor authentication for all accounts
  • Restrict user permissions (principle of least privilege)
  • Disable macro scripts from office files
  • Filter emails to block suspicious attachments
  • Disable RDP or secure it with VPN and MFA

Ransomware Response Plan

1

Isolate the Infection

Immediately disconnect affected devices from the network to prevent spread.

2

Identify the Strain

Determine which ransomware variant has infected your systems.

3

Assess Backup Integrity

Verify that backups are clean and unaffected by the ransomware.

4

Recover from Backups

Restore systems using clean backups after ensuring complete eradication.

5

Strengthen Defenses

Patch vulnerabilities and improve security to prevent recurrence.

What NOT to Do During an Attack

  • Don't pay the ransom (funds criminal activity and doesn't guarantee recovery)
  • Don't use the infected systems (could worsen the damage)
  • Don't attempt DIY removal (may destroy forensic evidence)
  • Don't delay contacting professionals (time is critical)
