Staying secure against ransomware isn’t just about having the latest security solutions. People are invariably the weakest link in cyber security, with human error causing 90% of cyber data breaches in 2019 according to government figures, and cybercriminals are experts at exploiting normal human behaviours for their own personal gain. Therefore, good IT security practises are essential components of every organisation’s security setup.

As part of eacs cyber security month, below we’ve listed 5 simple steps every business can take to help protect themselves against breaches in their security defences.

5 steps

Ransomware:  The Cyberthreat that Just Won’t Die

Thirty years on from the world’s first cyber ransomware attack, cybercriminals continue holding organizations hostage, maliciously encrypting their files and demanding hefty ransoms for the safe return of the data. Indeed, while headlines come and go, ransomware remains stronger than ever, with six- and seven-figure ransom demands now commonplace.

This paper explores the reasons behind ransomware’s longevity, including the factors that have enabled it to get faster, smarter, and deadlier over the years, and what we must learn from this history if we are to minimize our risk of attack in the future.

Stories of organizations crippled by ransomware regularly dominate the IT news headlines, and accounts of six- and seven-figure ransom demands are commonplace. But do the news stories tell the full story?

To understand the reality behind the headlines, Sophos commissioned an independent survey of 5,000 IT managers across 26 countries. The findings provide brand new insight into what actually happens once ransomware hits. It reveals the percentage of attacks that successfully encrypt data; how many victims pay the ransom; how paying the ransom impacts the overall clean-up costs; and the role of cybersecurity insurance. Be prepared to be surprised.
