Ransomware attacks continue to rise and claim more victims than Messi and Ronaldo combined.
Despite warnings from experts regarding online security, the damage continues to increase . Recent developments in ransomware techniques are forcing IT specialists to adapt their data protection and backup plans.
When it comes to Ransomware, attackers do not distinguish between types of business and, even after having access to the network and data (namely banking), hackers can adapt the ransom demand to the possibilities of the victim organization. Usually paid in ??Bitcoins??, not to leave a trace.
While some cases become public, such as those involving CUF Hospitals or the Champalimaud Foundation , the truth is that most of the time these attacks are not visible to everyone, giving the perception that they only target large organizations. The fact is that we see SMEs increasingly becoming the main targets of this type of attack . Because they lack the financial resources of large companies to invest in multiple layers of protection, SMEs are becoming more vulnerable, and just because they are smaller doesn't mean their data is of lesser value.
Why do companies need a remote backup?
Online attacks happen even if you don't click on a suspicious link received in your spam folder via email, sent by the Prince of Nigeria. Attackers exploit system vulnerabilities and sometimes manage to infect legitimate websites, spreading ransomware to anyone who accesses them.
That's why it's essential to have a second backup copy off-site . Once inside the network, hackers seek to access as many devices as possible and spread the attack.
An off-site backup copy can be a last resort . This way, you can ensure that even in the catastrophic event of your entire network being compromised , you can still recover your data from a Cloud ☁️, where your backups are synchronized and securely stored.
