Proactive defence against Ransomware

December 10, 2021

Cyber crime continues to rise in scale and complexity, affecting essential services, businesses, and private individuals alike.  Cyber crime costs the UK billions of pounds and can cause untold damage.

We have seen a significant growth in cyber criminality in the form of ransomware campaigns over the last year.  Breaches leave data exposed and organisations vulnerable to fraud, while significantly impacting reputation and business operations.

Some of the most common cyber threats include:

  • Hacking – including of social media and email passwords
  • Phishing – bogus emails asking for personal details and security information
  • Malicious software – including Ransomware where criminals hijack files and hold them ransom

The evolving technical capability of malicious software means evolving harm.  An organisation may have endpoint defences and a backup strategy in place, but ransomware still gets through.  And with criminals stepping up their malicious activity and ransomware attacks increasing, dedicated protection is needed for central storage.

As the landscape continues to shift, it is the most resilient organisations that will be able to adapt best, safely embracing new technologies, enabling secure remote/hybrid workforces, isolating ransomware attacks and countering insider threats to keep your organisation safe.

How do we help our customers to protect their systems?

Through our partnership with a range of leading software providers, Q Associates enables our customers to build a core resilience against cyber threats.
