How are you protecting your business from ransom threats?
The pandemic brought an abrupt and irreversible change to how we all did business. Communication of sensitive information using email has become a norm for everyone, easily ignoring the risks of information interception and theft.
Today, we talk on Zoom and other online media, diminishing the importance that our conversations might be listened to or recorded. We comfortably entrust our confidential business information to Internet storage services, which promise not to divulge documents, files, and voice recordings placed in their cloud servers. Are there any other choices to avoid these risks?
Your sensitive information is always at risk.
The life and success of thousands of businesses like yours highly depend on keeping sensitive information secret and safe from hackers and internal thieves.
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 they can get money out of it.
Periodic updates to close vulnerabilities.
To give you an idea of 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 get into networks.
It is a daily battle where business victims lose their clients and, consequentially, their revenue due to a hacker attack. We all hear the media regarding the damaging effects caused by viruses, phishing, computer worms, and malware, from small businesses to critical government infrastructures.
We speak weekly with IT managers who all believe they are protected because they avidly install software updates provided by Microsoft, CISCO, and all the 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 defense 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 for ransom, nothing works. Your IT personnel will try to rescue files in hard drives to find them encrypted by the hacker. As time passes, you have to decide to pay the hacker, believing that all your computers will return to work and your digital files and archives will return to normal. However, convince yourself that the reality is that nothing will be back to normal because not all types and numbers of files might be recovered.
Use TeraKey to restore hijacked documents.
One feature of the TeraCryption system is using the TeraKey app to restore hijacked files in case an attacker freezes your computers and operations. Computer users install the TeraKey application to encrypt every sensitive document starting the moment 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 for storage in a cloud service away from the hacker’s reach. Files in your My TeraKey local folder are uploaded and saved in 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 asking for 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 operating before the attack.
