and other computer threats
Ransomware has become the most common threat to corporate IT systems.
This malicious software enables a hacker to hold an IT infrastructure hostage and block a company’s production resources until a backup is restored, in the best case scenario.
As this type of attack, by its very nature, is highly profitable for the people who carry them out, we can expect to see an increase in their frequency over the coming years.
In the event that data and data backups are rendered unusable by the attack, this enables the attacker to demand exorbitant ransoms for the return of the data, without however guaranteeing it.
The damage caused by such an attack is considerable in terms of operating losses (several days of production downtime) and brand image. That’s why it’s vital to take the necessary steps to protect your system before an attack occurs.
