How are you protecting your business from ransom threats?
The pandemic brought an abrupt and irreversible change to how we conduct business. The communication of sensitive information via email has become a norm for everyone, often disregarding the risks of information interception and theft.
Today, we communicate on Zoom and other online platforms, diminishing the importance of our conversations being listened to or recorded. We comfortably entrust our confidential business information to Internet storage services that promise not to disclose documents, files, and voice recordings stored on their cloud servers. Are there any other choices to avoid these risks?
Your sensitive information is always at risk
The success of thousands of businesses like yours depends on keeping sensitive information confidential and secure from hackers and internal threats.
We all tend to justify our reluctance to do something to reduce this risk by saying, “No, that cannot happen to me – my business is not that important.” Do you think that attackers will only select large and famous companies? Of course not. They will attack any business if it means extracting money from it.

Periodic updates to close vulnerabilities
To give you an idea of the reality in the cyberwar field, vendors such as Microsoft, IBM, Google, Cisco, and many others spend millions of Dollars fighting cybercrime by constantly making updates to close vulnerabilities when hackers gain access to networks.
It is a daily battle in which businesses lose clients and, consequently, revenue due to a hacker attack. We all hear about the damaging effects of viruses, phishing, computer worms, and malware, from small businesses to critical government infrastructure.
We speak weekly with IT managers who all believe they are protected because they avidly install software updates from Microsoft, Cisco, and other equipment vendors that connect their businesses to the Internet. Yes, it is indisputable that they are indeed protected only to a certain extent, covering the front end of the Internet connection. But what about other vulnerabilities?
Your business suddenly stops
The irony is that your company might spend thousands of dollars on cyber defence hardware and software, yet something as simple as your employee unknowingly clicking a phishing link may be enough for an attacker to access their computer and the entire network. How can you stop such catastrophic incidents?
While it may be possible to prevent clicking phishing links to some degree, it is impossible to entirely prevent an attacker’s entry to your computer or the network.
Your business starts losing clients and money
Once your operations are taken hostage, nothing works. Your IT personnel will attempt to recover files from the hard drives, only to find that the hacker has encrypted them. As time passes, you must decide whether to pay the hacker, believing that all your computers will return to regular operation and your digital files and archives will resume their regular functions. However, be aware that nothing will return to normal, as not all file types can be recovered.
Use TeraKey to restore hijacked documents
One feature of the TeraCryption system is the use of the TeraLink app to restore hijacked documents if an attacker freezes your computer and operations. Computer users install the TeraKey application to encrypt every sensitive document as soon as it is created.
Encryption of a document takes just a few seconds and is transparent to the user. The TeraKey application, running on each user’s computer, automatically creates a copy of each file and uploads it to a cloud service, keeping it out of the hacker’s reach. Files in your My TeraKey local folder are uploaded to the cloud storage location, preserving the file and folder tree structure.
When the attacker compromises or freezes computers on the network, or encrypts your files and demands a ransom, reinstall Windows and the TeraKey application. This way, the TeraKey user can easily download all their encrypted files from the linked cloud storage service to their My TeraKey local folder. With these simple steps, your business will be restored to its normal operating state before the attack.
