RANSOMWARE – SERIOUS DANGER ALSO FOR SME 

Unpredictable and dangerous attacks

There are countless reports in the media about ransomware attacks. Companies where attackers have succeeded in accessing the systems via a back door are blackmailed and excluded from their own systems. In addition to encrypting data and blocking the systems, sensitive data is increasingly being used as a means of pressure. The attackers threaten to publish or directly resell them. Through ransomware, attackers gain targeted access to computer and server systems within a company network. If the attacker activates the malware, the systems are blocked and their data inevitably encrypted or stolen. After this step, the attackers demand a ransom with the promise to release or return the systems and data immediately upon receipt. However, this is not guaranteed despite the ransom being paid (1).

 
Also SMEs AS A GOAL

Contrary to widespread opinion, not only large corporations are affected. SME are very interesting targets for attackers. They do so in the hope of encountering less sophisticated security systems such as those used by large corporations. At the same time, protection against ransomware and its consequences is also easy to implement for small and medium-sized companies. Complete protection in the form of suitable systems and new processes is a sustainable investment that pays off for the company.

 
HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF

For companies that have neither the appropriate security measures and trained employees nor backup systems that are disconnected from the system, a ransomware attack can mean the end of business activities. Therefore, it is important to protect yourself in a targeted manner. The following measures can be used to prevent attacks or, if an attack has succeeded against expectations, to minimize the damage:

  • Consistent updates of all applications and operating systems
  • Operation of an up-to-date virus protection and corresponding firewalls
  • Specific employee training in dealing with IT security
  • Completely decoupled backup systems
