Ransomware has been a major headache for organizations all over the world for several years and shows no signs of abating anytime soon. This is a cybercrime technique in which files are encrypted and users are locked out, with the criminals demanding money to re-enter the system.
Organizations hit by ransomware attacks may find their systems paralyzed for extended periods of time, especially if they lack backups. Paying ransom to these criminals does not guarantee that your system access will be restored.
