Description

Ransomware continues to plague individuals and businesses across industries and represents one of the biggest security threats faced today. Yet, few are taking the steps necessary to reduce the risk associated with ransomware attacks. Learn how to implement an effective system of control to mitigate risks and to avoid becoming another victim of ransomware.

Imagine turning on your computer one day to find that all your data files have been encrypted, but a criminal holds the key necessary for you to regain access to and use of these files.
