Publisher's summary

Ransomware is a type of malicious software, or malware, that encrypts data on a computer making it unusable. A malicious cyber criminal holds the data hostage until the ransom is paid. If the ransom is not paid, the victim's data remains unavailable. Cyber criminals may also pressure victims to pay the ransom by threatening to destroy the victim's data or to release it to the public.

Without cyber-security, companies cannot defend themselves at the time of the breach. It is impossible to stop cyber-attacks from occurring by relying on antiviruses.

People are more looking forward to when it can happen, because it is that common these days. Cybercriminals have become more resilient towards conventional crime defenses.

Irrespective of the level of your organization, cyber threats can come from anywhere at any time.

It is essential to educate the people around you about the different types of cybercrimes they can encounter. This includes ransomware attacks and also malware attacks. These kinds of incidents have become the biggest threats for businesses. A cyber threat does not see how big or small the business is. It leaves longing effects on the company's reputation as well, which leads it towards terrible losses.
