It is important to protect your devices with antivirus software, but also specific protection against ransomware has become a must.
Install anti-ransomware such as
- Acronis Ransomware Protection
- Kasperski Anti-Ransomware Tool for Business
- McAfee Ransomware Interceptor (Pilot).
- For Windows 10 users: Windows Defender Antivirus
The recommendations for every internet user are of course also important for companies and organisations, but we advise them to go a step further.
- For SMEs and the self-employed, Endpoint protection software as listed above may be sufficient. But for large companies, a specialized business anti-ransomware solution is recommended.
- Provide a business continuity and recovery plan with a tested backup system.
- Make sure your organisation is prepared for a cyber-attack. Check out our webinar.
- Have your IT security architecture & policy reviewed by a specialist (including policies on patching, user training, network segmentation, etc.).
- Work on a cybersecurity strategy. Read how to do this here.
