Are SMBs at risk of ransomware attacks?
SMBs are often targeted by ransomware attacks because they may lack the robust security measures that larger organizations have in place. In fact, a significant percentage of cyberattacks focus on businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Many SMBs mistakenly believe they are too small to be targeted, but the reality is that they face considerable risk.
What is Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS)?
Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) is a model where cybercriminals use affiliates to carry out attacks, making it difficult for organizations to predict and prepare for various attack methods. This model increases the complexity of the threat landscape for SMBs, as they may encounter multiple vectors of attack.
How can SMBs protect themselves from ransomware?
To enhance their security, SMBs should engage an Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) provider that offers anti-malware and response capabilities. It's also important to centralize logging for all edge devices, monitor log-on activity for remote access services, and quickly remediate any malware infections. These proactive measures can help return systems to a secure state and protect against potential breaches.
