Ransomware attacks are arguably one of the most widespread attack methods that cyber criminals use to harm companies. The attack method of digital blackmail aims to encrypt as many company-internal files as possible automatically. They should thus be made unusable for the company. The internal information can only be accessed again if the organization pays a ransom to the criminals and in return receives a decryption code for their unusable files. Encrypted files lead to production downtimes, reputational damage and financial losses in companies.
A complete and up-to-date data backup provides a remedy for this from a technical point of view. With this, you can quickly restore all lost information. In order to be able to reverse the effects of such an attack in a reasonable time frame, a sufficient and above all tested backup and restore concept must be in place for the company.
