Ransomware Protection & Backup Services

A steep rise in ransomware attacks has made it difficult for hackers to keep up with the opportunities. There are more companies they can hold for ransom than they have people to do the ransoming. This has left many burrowed into systems waiting for the moment to strike.

When they eventually follow through, more victims will discover what has become an almost routine business casualty: encrypted files and a demand for ransom of $100,000 or more.

They’ve typically been hiding out for 6-9 months, so when they strike, they’ve had plenty of time to infiltrate backups, including daily, automated backups.

It’s not a matter of “if” but “when” you will be targeted. What will you do when it happens?

Hackers are sophisticated and can get into and encrypt your local backups, if not properly secured. True offsite backups are your best protection but can be costly. We can help you balance the risks with the costs, so you’re making the right decisions about how much to spend on offsite backups.

Based on your risk tolerance, we will develop a backup system that includes the right combination of online, offline backups, and security software that meets your uptime requirements and offers you the protection against ransomware that you need.

Many ransomware attacks—and other forms of fraud, including identity theft—start with phishing emails. Most employees don’t know how to protect themselves from phishing attacks because they don’t know how they work and organizations often lack proper educational measures to help employees identify these threats.

One local government was recently fooled into sending employee W2 forms to a hacker because they thought an administrator was requesting them. A Chicago law firm recently had its email spoofed and lost $30k in a wire transfer. These are just two examples on what literally happens everyday.

To protect your organization against these phishing attacks, the KnowBe4 program uses a combination of training and assessments to determine how vulnerable your users are.
