Protective measures are no guarantee
Protection from cyberattacks, and ransomware attacks in particular, is essential for companies. Three aspects have a role to play here:
Increasing employee awareness
It is important to train employees regularly and increase their awareness of security topics. Only vigilant users are able to recognize an attack that has evaded prevention technologies and avoid clicking on a defective link, for example.
Technologies for prevention
Technologies such as virus scanners, firewalls, or mobile threat defense solutions, and continuous updates for systems and applications can help you to avoid, recognize, and repel attacks before they cause any damage. This allows you to support your employees, who must remain alert even as their vigilance is required less often.
Preparing for an emergency
However, the combination of prevention technologies and increased employee awareness cannot always provide 100% security. New methods of attack are always being developed – and the hackers are always one step ahead. That is why it is so crucial to prepare for an emergency.
