Ransomware Prevention Is Possible

Ransomware is a form of malware that encrypts files to prevent victims from accessing their systems and data. In almost every case, the files can only be recovered by restoring backup copies, or by purchasing a decryption key from the ransomware threat actor.
Although law enforcement advises victims not to accede to ransom demands, many firms will pay anyway based on the degree to which their operations are impaired. Today, ransomware is big business for nation-state actors and cyber-criminal organizations alike, accounting for 27% of all malware-related security incidents.
The most efficient way to prevent a ransomware incident from occurring is to stop an attacker from exploiting a system vulnerability with a malicious script or utilizing malware to deposit ransomware on a victim's computer.
