13.01.2022 4 Fundamentals for Protecting Your Computer from Ransomware Ransomware attacks are now common, disrupting business operations and costing thousands of dollars in losses. Here are 4 best practices to consider for protecting yourself and your business.... Understand the Threat: Crypto ransomware works by encrypting certain, sensitive files types and then forcing the victim to pay a ransom to gain access to a decryption key for the data. With nearly all types of crypto ransomware its virtually impossible to recover data without paying for the decryption key. Sometimes even paying the ransom wont decrypt the files. 1: Understand the Threat: Crypto ransomware works by encrypting certain, sensitive files types and then forcing the victim to pay a ransom to gain access to a decryption key for the data. With nearly all types of crypto ransomware its virtually impossible to recover data without paying for the decryption key. Sometimes even paying the ransom wont decrypt the files. 2: Teach Users Not to Phish: The Webroot 2016 Threat Brief showed that up to 50% of users will fall for a phishing attack in 2016. The key is to teach users to not open emails from unknown senders with attachments or links and how to spot suspicious emails even when they look like theyre from known senders. Instruct your staff on spotting expressions or greetings the sender wouldnt normally use as clues to something phishy. If all else fails, real-time anti-phishing protection can often block even zero-day phishing attacks. 3: Maintain Layers of Anti-Ransomware Technology: Reliable, cloud-based antimalware can prevent nearly all ransomware attacks, but its important to remember that new delivery vectors are being released constantly, so no endpoint security solution alone will offer you 100% protection. Additional security layers like firewalls, Windows OS policy restrictions, and having proper back-ups in place will all help to secure your environment. 4: Patching and Plug-Ins: Keeping applications like Adobe Reader, Java, and other plugins up to date greatly reduces security vulnerabilities and prevents browser and application vulnerabilities that may bypass your antimalware defenses. Ad and pop-up blockers also greatly reduce user error, stopping you from inadvertently clicking fake dialogs that download ransomware.

07.01.2022 COMMON CYBER SECURITY MYTHS Just like urban myths, cyber myths exist that sound so real they could also be true. Believing these myths may expose you to cybercriminals. Myth #1: Anti-virus software and firewalls are 100% effective.... Truth: Anti-virus software and firewalls* are important for protecting your information. However, neither is guaranteed to protect you from an attack. Combining these technologies with good security habits is the best way to reduce your risk. *Most operating systems include a built-in firewall feature that you should turn on. Myth #2: I never have to update the software installed on my computer. Truth: Software companies release updated versions of their software to address problems or fix weaknesses. Hackers and malicious programs or viruses can find weaknesses and will exploit that software to access your computer, smartphone or tablet. To keep your device secure, you should install any software update as soon as possible. Some software even offers the option for automatic updates. Myth #3: I have nothing important on my computer, so I wont be hacked. Truth: Your opinion about what is important might be different to a criminals idea. If you have personal or financial data on your computer, hackers can collect it and use it for their own financial gain. Even if you dont store that kind of information on your computer, a hacker may be able to gain control of your computer and use your data in attacks against other people. Myth #4: Cybercriminals only target people with money. Truth: Anyone can become a victim of identity theft. Attackers look for the biggest reward for the least amount of effort and if your information happens to be in a compromised database, it could be collected and used for malicious purposes. It is important to only share your personal details with people and organisations you trust. Myth #5: A strong password will solve all my security issues. Truth: Strong passwords are the first line of defence to protect your information from cybercriminals, but they can still be compromised. You should support your strong password with other measures such as two-factor authentication. If strong passwords are too complicated to remember, you can install a password manager on your computer, smartphone or tablet. It will generate and remember secure passwords for you and some password managers will sync across your devices. Remember: Be diligent about protecting yourself online, so you dont become the victim of a cyberattack. Taken from the "Stay Smart Online" page.
