Every day, we read about another company getting hacked or massive amount of data being breached. Nowadays, it seems like most people have reached the state of numbness or filter these kind of news until it happens to them. They experience the pain of data loss and identity theft and wonder why they were not more cognizant about it. Our prospects ask us what to do to protect themselves against it? In a single word is being vigilant monitor everything all of the time and follow the security guidelines in our playbook. We have created a small E-Book posted on our website The challenge grows as more and more of devices are now connected to the internet (IoT internet of things), such as Rings (cameras) and Nest (thermostats), Apple watches and many others. And any vulnerabilities in these devices result in your credentials and sensitive becoming for sale on the Dark Web.
One of our clients told us that nobody likes to go to the doctors or pay for the medicine or pay for the ransomware. As we know, the ransomware payment demands have skyrocketed – from an average of $12,000 in Q1 of 2019 to three times as much at $36,000 in Q2 of 2019. But these “ransoms” to unlock wrongfully encrypted computer systems do not include the cost of lost productivity, impact to reputations, and expense to recover from successful attacks. The global damage of ransomware annually is estimated to be in the tens of billions of dollars at this point. Much of this threat is aimed at small and mid-sized organizations that have fewer resources to defend themselves.
