Ransomware Protection: How to Protect Your Data

Ransomware can encrypt your files and demand payment. Learn how to protect yourself from this devastating threat.

Understanding Ransomware

Ransomware is malicious software that encrypts your files and demands payment for the decryption key. These attacks can target individuals and businesses alike, causing significant data loss and financial damage.

Prevention Strategies

• Regular Backups: Keep offline backups of important files
• Update Software: Keep your operating system and applications updated
• Email Caution: Be wary of suspicious email attachments
• Antivirus Protection: Use reputable security software

What to Do If Infected

If you suspect a ransomware infection, immediately disconnect from the network and contact a professional. Do not pay the ransom, as there's no guarantee you'll regain access to your files.
