Stay ahead of ransomware attacks with Sophos
Organizations are increasingly taking a critical look at whether they run an increased risk in their ICT infrastructure and all critical data contained therein. Is the infrastructure still at the right level?
Prevent direct and consequential damage from ransomware
A good way to tackle automated attacks, weaknesses in remote desktop protocols and abuse of poor cloud security is to take a look at Sophos solutions. These prevent data leaks and direct and consequential damage that organizations do not want. In addition to burglary, taking data hostage or stealing it and offering it for sale is unfortunately commonplace. For example, if you detect a ransomware attack in time, the damage that occurs can be significantly limited. For example, this can ensure that only a few files or a small portion of data are encrypted, rather than an entire database. With ransomware, every second counts.
Security teams neutralize threats
However, rapid intervention is only possible if there is current insight into active threats that the organization is confronted with. Solutions such as Sophos Rapid Response provide this insight. Through this service you receive support from a specialized security team, which is available 24/7. The team consists of incident responders, threat analysts and threat hunters. They specialize in neutralizing cyber threats.
The right expertise prevents worse
Such a solution offers a lot of extra security. With Sophos, your customers can be sure that they have the right expertise when they cannot do without it. They also gain insight into the costs in advance, which are predictable. This is in contrast to many traditional forms of incident response, which are usually charged per hour. Will you be affected by a cyber threat during their license term? Then the security team will help you mitigate this threat at no extra cost.
Phishing
Phishing is one of the most common forms of cybercrime in which malicious parties attempt to steal personal information, such as passwords, credit card numbers and other sensitive data, by posing as trustworthy entities. Phishing attacks are often carried out via e-mail, but can also occur via text messages (smishing) and telephone calls (vishing). McPartners is happy to teach you how to deal with phishing and how to protect yourself against it.
Take targeted measures
Was the attack successfully repelled? Then you obviously want to prevent a recurrence. The Rapid Response team therefore also provides insight into the root cause of security incidents. This way you can take targeted measures and take security to a higher level.
2 Factor Authentication
Set up 2 Factor Authentication for all your accounts. By setting up 2 Factor Authentication, you approve logins using your mobile phone. By configuring this second step, it is more difficult for malicious parties to gain access to your account.
