Ransomware Readiness Assessment

Ransomware is a form of malicious software that threatens to publish a victim’s data, or prevents access to their systems or personal files unless a ransom is paid. Files may be encrypted until a sum of money in cryptocurrency is paid in order to restore access.

Generally, the malware that enables an attacker to deploy ransomware arrives in the form of a seemingly innocuous file or link in an email. 

The link would then redirect to a malicious, downloadable file, thereby giving attackers a foothold in your system form which they can work to gain access to and exfiltrate data, delete backups that are not airgapped and lock you out of your systems.
