RANSOMWARE FAQS

How Does Ransomware Work?


Ransomware is a type of malicious software designed to block access to a computer system or computer files until a sum of money is paid. Most ransomware variants encrypt the files on the affected computer, making them inaccessible, and demand a ransom payment to restore access.

How Does Ransomware Spread?


Most ransomware is delivered via email that appears to be legitimate, enticing you to click a link or download an attachment that delivers the malicious software. Ransomware is also delivered via drive-by-download attacks on compromised or malicious websites. Some ransomware attacks have even been sent using social media messaging.

How Do You Prevent Ransomware?


Regularly and consistently back up data, but filter out potentially malicious websites and emails. If a ransomware attack is successful, they will at least have their important data accessible elsewhere. Organizations can also deploy a ransomware protection technology in order to prevent the execution of ransomware.

How Does Predictive Ransomware Protection Work?

Cybereason Predictive Ransomware Protection leverages artificially intelligent endpoints, multi-layered protection, and visibility from the kernel to the cloud to ensure that Cybereason stops any ransomware strain - even those never before seen.
