Discussed on this episode:

What is Ransomware?

encrypts (scrambles) personal files (documents, pictures, taxes, financial/customer records, etc)
Requires paying a “ransom” to (maybe) get your files back
Commonly initiated by malicious links in emails

Why should we be concerned?

even if not YOUR business, we all pay when people lose
Imagine losing family photos
Even backups can be, and often are, compromised
RECENT EXAMPLES: Including Yazoo County schools being held up for more than a quarter-million dollars!

What can we do about it?

Awareness and recognizing scams is crucial
Be suspicious
Personal users can use tools such as CryptoPrevent
Businesses can benefit from AppMoat, a 24/7 managed service to protect their systems
(AppMoat is a Ransomware/Zero-Day Managed Endpoint Protection tool for Windows workstations and servers)
