Don't Be the Next Victim of Ransomware
Don't Be the Next Victim of Ransomware
What is ransomware?
Ransomware is a type of advanced malware that takes hold of a device by locking users out or encrypting sensitive files with a key only the attacker controls. Hackers will try to trick your users into a risky click or download to initiate the attack. If successful, the ransomware will make itself known to the victim and present a screen demanding payment to return the stolen data.

What do we do about it?
Ransomware exploits the naivete of users to break your security. By taking advantage of a user's lack of cybersecurity literacy, they sneak by even the most advanced first line of defense. All it takes is one wrong click on a link or a file to set the wheels of ransomware infection in motion. Stopping ransomware attacks before they start requires blocking the three common vectors: phishing, RDP abuse, and scan & exploit techniques.
How can WatchGuard help?
AuthPoint Multi-Factor Authentication
Ransomware attacks typically start with the theft of a user credential that gives an attacker access to the network or a sensitive business account. AuthPoint ensures that attackers can't get where they don't belong with stolen credentials alone by requiring additional factors to prove a user's identity. This minimizes the impact of lost and stolen passwords while giving transparency into user access.
