In 2016, the number of ransomware attacks increased 300 percent from 2015, with over 4,000 attacks detected per day, according to US government statistics. Ransomware is among the worst types of infection, as it not only encrypts network data, but in the end may cost victims all their data – even if they pay the ransom. It should be a priority for all businesses and organizations in 2017. Ransomware is not limited to consumer networks; it’s one of the most sophisticated types of malware that targets all internet users, from private individuals to corporate networks to government agencies. Ransomware attacks on enterprises affect shareholders, employees and customers, and could lead to permanent damage caused by loss of confidential information, negative publicity and financial loss.

A vital, actually a most fundamental, aspect of enterprise security is helping organizations to keep confidential information confidential. This is why security at the data and document level is something to which much more attention should be paid by enterprises. And a report, Getting Control of Document Flow: Exploring Exposure and Risk In Document-Related Data Breaches, just issued from the Business Performance Innovation (BPI) Network (sponsored by Foxit software) found that 60 Percent of survey respondents said sensitive documents have accidentally been sent to someone who probably wasn’t authorized to see the document. No big surprise there, in fact I think most of us have forwarded something we shouldn’t have to someone at some point in our work lives. The BPI Network survey, based on responses from business owners, CEOs, executives and knowledge workers from more than 200 companies from various nations was fielded in the final quarter of 2016 and part of first quarter 2017. It found that 89 percent of those surveyed believe that increased connectivity and mobile devices is increasing document risk. How to Stay Safe from Ransomware Attacks

CIOs and CISOs unanimously agree that IT departments need beefed-up security with solutions that can not only cope with an ever-increasing number of threats, but also integrate with existing infrastructure to minimize both deployment and performance impact. Independent tester AV-TEST is known for thoroughly testing endpoint security for threat detection capabilities, performance impact and usability, establishing itself as one of the most respected and impartial independent testers. It is because of this that IT security managers carefully assess such findings and make important strategic decisions based on these results. With technology executives expecting to spend between 1% and 5% of their revenue on IT security, security and risk management are two challenges that can also be addressed by due diligence on endpoint protection security solutions.
