The Covid-19 pandemic heavily impacted thousands of businesses around the United States. Millions of employees are now working from home, a significant shift in addressing cybersecurity threats like ransomware. Companies must look at some best practices to defend themselves against ransomware attacks. Business owners must assess their IT environment and provide more funds for cybersecurity from their IT budget.

Our experts also note the importance of a cybersecurity response plan to quickly address cyber threats. More businesses implement cybersecurity awareness to educate their employee about good cybersecurity practices. System admins need to enable single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and PEM solutions to secure all remote logged-in user connections.

Third-party software from contracting vendors can expose your business to the attack surface. Therefore, you should know your third-party vendors and how they protect themselves against cyber threats as a business.

Ransomware is a booming business hitting more companies because it’s easy to create and deploy by anybody with basic IT knowledge and thousands of available resources online.
