Can Your Business Survive a Ransomware Attack? Ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and devastating. The recent incident with Vodka maker the Stoli Group is a stark reminder of the potential consequences. After a severe ransomware attack in August, Stoli Group’s IT systems were crippled, forcing manual operations and leading to significant financial and operational disruptions. This attack, coupled with other challenges, ultimately led to their U.S. subsidiaries filing for bankruptcy. At Bondgate IT, we understand the critical importance of robust cybersecurity measures. Here are some key steps to protect your business: Regular Backups: Ensure your data is backed up regularly and stored securely. Employee Training: Educate your team on recognising phishing attempts and other common attack vectors. Multi-layered Security Solutions: Invest in comprehensive security solutions that include real-time threat detection and response. Incident Response Plan: Have a clear, actionable plan in place for responding to cyber incidents. Don’t wait until it’s too late. Strengthen your defences today and ensure your business can withstand and recover from a ransomware attack. #CyberSecurity #Ransomware #BusinessContinuity #BondgateIT
