What is Ransomware ?Ransomware is malicious software that restricts access to an infected computer while displaying a notification to the user to pay a Ransom to restore access to their files and folders. Traditionally this is an individual user problem, but in 2016 we have observed the move to Healthcare and Business focussed infections.

The Ransomware ThreatYour users are just one step/click away from opening an email or web link which is malicious. The business needs to adopt an approach that infection will happen, or already has and it's sitting and waiting to be effected.

In SummaryRansomware is just beginning to make the shift from Individuals through to Businesses. In 2016 we saw the shift to Healthcare and Medical, it's only a matter of time before it tactically hits businesses as a higher value target.

Justification for budget approval is straight forward - what's the cost to the business if a resource is offline vs the cost of training, education and perhaps a Next Generation AV provider. Neil Kemp
