Understanding Ransomware Threats Facing Chicago Businesses

Ransomware attacks are no longer rare—they’re routine. Across the Chicago area and beyond, businesses are falling victim to well-hidden threats. These attackers often remain undetected for 6–9 months. By the time they strike, they’ve already encrypted files, accessed credentials, and even tampered with your backup systems.

In many cases, the ransom demand exceeds $100,000. Unfortunately, daily backups alone won’t protect you if those backups have already been compromised.


Planning Ransomware Protection and Recovery for Chicago Businesses

GO Technology Group helps organizations like yours create smart, layered ransomware protection strategies. We evaluate your environment and build secure data backup and disaster recovery systems that balance cost with risk tolerance. Whether you need online redundancy, secure offline backups, or cloud-based recovery solutions, we make sure your business stays operational—even during a cyberattack.

Located in the greater Chicago area, our team works with local businesses, law firms, government agencies, and nonprofits to implement resilient cybersecurity plans.

Our Ransomware Resilience Framework

GO Technology Group applies a proven 3-part strategy to help your business stay secure and recover fast:

Employee Training with KnowBe4

Even the most advanced managed IT services and cybersecurity tools can’t protect you from human error. Phishing emails are still the #1 way hackers get inside your organization.

Through our partnership with KnowBe4, we deliver enterprise-grade phishing prevention training for your team. This includes:

Baseline Testing – Measure vulnerability with a simulated attack
User Training – Access the world’s largest security awareness library
Phishing Simulation – Regular testing with automated fake phishing emails
ROI Reporting – Visual dashboards for training progress and performance

Real stories make it clear: a local Chicago law firm recently lost $30,000 in a spoofed email scam. Another Illinois municipality unknowingly sent employee W2 forms to a hacker. These attacks are preventable—with the right training in place.
