How to protect my organisation from ransomware attacks

Organizations can take several steps to strengthen their defenses against ransomware attacks:

1. Implement strong cybersecurity measures such as firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, and regular security updates.
2. Conduct regular employee training on recognizing phishing emails and suspicious links.
3. Back up data regularly and store it securely offline or in the cloud.
4. Restrict user privileges to limit access to sensitive data and systems.
5. Use multi-factor authentication for accessing critical systems.
6. Develop an incident response plan outlining steps to take in case of a ransomware attack.
7. Conduct regular security assessments and audits to identify vulnerabilities.
8. Consider using security solutions specifically designed to detect and prevent ransomware attacks.
9. Monitor network traffic for unusual activity that may indicate a ransomware attack is in progress.
