Antivirus Isn’t Enough

Many assume AV solutions are enough to block ransomware, but they’re not. Traditional AV tools basically just detect ransomware payloads. That’s the part that locks your data and demands payment. The problem is, if the payload goes unnoticed, the damage is already done.

The real solution is stopping ransomware long before your data is encrypted. That’s where endpoint detection and response (EDR) comes in.

Our EDR detects suspicious activity in the early stages of an attack, spotting warning signs like initial access, persistence, and privilege escalation. By catching these red flags, EDR stops attacks before they cause harm, keeping your systems safe.

Frequently Asked Questions about our Ransomware Protection

Cyber security can feel complex, but we’re here to make it clear. Find answers to the most common questions we receive about protecting your business from digital threats, keeping your systems compliant, and ensuring your data remains secure.

Today’s ransomware uses encryption to lock files and often employs double extortion—demanding payment to unlock data and threatening to publish stolen data. Attackers exploit phishing emails, remote desktop vulnerabilities and zero‑day flaws. Having immutable backups and a recovery plan is essential.

Implement layered security: patch systems promptly, use endpoint protection with behavioural detection, train employees to spot phishing, enable MFA and restrict administrative privileges. Regularly back up data to an off‑site or cloud location with immutable storage to facilitate recovery.

Authorities advise against paying because it doesn’t guarantee recovery and may encourage criminals. Invest in prevention, maintain offline backups, and have an incident response plan. Consult legal counsel and law enforcement if an attack occurs.

Immutable (read‑only) backups cannot be altered or deleted by ransomware. They provide a clean copy of data that can be restored quickly, minimizing downtime and reducing the need to pay ransom.

A plan should detail how to isolate infected systems, restore from backups, communicate with stakeholders, and engage cybersecurity experts. Regularly test and update the plan to ensure it works when needed.
