Protect Your Company from Hackers Holding Your Company Hostage

Knowing how to protect yourself from hackers holding your company hostage is a top priority.

It’s no secret that hackers are becoming more sophisticated and malicious in their approach to extorting companies, as we see in the news daily. The process, known as “ransomware,” involves a hacker infiltrating your system and holding it hostage until you pay them a ransom. A Cyber breach can be incredibly damaging to any company, leading to lost data, downtime, and loss of customers. But don’t worry—there are ways DataGuard can protect your company from these kinds of attacks. Let’s look at a few ways to prevent hackers from holding your company hostage.

Identify Potential Threats

The first step DataGuard will take in protecting your company is identifying potential threats before they become a problem. Cyber readiness means ensuring you have an effective security system to detect suspicious activity on your network or website. Additionally, we guarantee your employees understand the importance of keeping passwords secure and not clicking on suspicious links or email attachments. Our training system goes a long way toward preventing any malicious attempts at hacking into your system.

Encrypt Your Data

The next step DataGuard takes is to ensure that all of your data is encrypted so that even if hackers gain access, they cannot access sensitive information. By encrypting all data stored on your network, we can ensure that only authorized personnel can access it and keep it safe from outside threats. Additionally, DataGuard will set up firewalls and antivirus software on all computers and networks connected to the internet so that they can detect malicious attempts at accessing sensitive information.

Stay Up-to-Date with Security Patches

Finally, DataGuard knows the importance of keeping your company up-to-date with security patches for all the software you use on your computer systems and networks. Hackers often exploit vulnerabilities in outdated software programs, so by ensuring everything is current, DataGuard will minimize the chances of them gaining access to your system or data. Additionally, DataGuard will regularly run scans for malware, which will help identify any potential threats before they become an issue.
