Ransomware
Ransomware is a type of malicious software that encrypts high-value data such as databases, emails, files, and documents, blocking access and then demanding a ransom to restore it.
Protection Against Ransomware
To date, not a single Narbulut customer who has experienced a ransomware attack has suffered data loss. Keep your data safe with Narbulut.
Regular Backup
Regularly back up your important data to a network device. Narbulut keeps your data protected at all times with automatic and continuous backup.
Offsite Copy
Store a copy of your backups in a secure cloud environment outside your organization. Ransomware attacks can also affect local backups — an offsite copy can be a lifesaver.
Cold Storage
Store data you do not regularly use via cold storage. This method provides an isolated protection layer that ransomware cannot reach.
What Is Ransomware?
Ransomware is malicious software that infects computers, blocks users from accessing their systems or personal files, and demands a ransom payment in exchange for access. It can target any sector, especially databases, hospitals, government agencies, and critical infrastructure.
How Does Ransomware Work?
Ransomware typically infiltrates systems through phishing emails or security vulnerabilities. It spreads across the network and can infect all connected devices. It encrypts your files in the background and completely blocks your access. Then a screen demanding a ransom in cryptocurrency is displayed.
What Is the Impact of Ransomware?
Major attacks like Honda, Pemex, and WannaCry have caused billions of dollars in damage. A ransomware attack occurs every 11 seconds. Data loss, business interruption, reputation damage, and legal sanctions are the most common consequences. Even paying the ransom does not guarantee data recovery.
How Does Ransomware Spread?
Phishing emails are the most common method of spreading. Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) vulnerabilities, malicious websites, USB devices, and software security flaws are also frequently exploited. Even if you pay the ransom, there is no guarantee that you will regain access to your data.
