Forms of ransomware has been around for over 30 years, and with more and more organizations suffering attacks each year, it continues to endure. What has made ransomware such a durable threat and what is the best way to combat it? In order to prevent ransomware, organizations must first understand how it works.

In this webinar, Bob Erdman and Sandi Moore go in-depth on the ransomware attack cycle, the need to protect every endpoint, and how to spot signs of infection before data is encrypted by malicious actors.

Most organizations are vigilant about scanning their workstation PCs. Unfortunately, malware and other destructive entities can just as easily target your servers, both on-premise or in the cloud, so many environments remain unprotected.

In reality, Linux is becoming a lucrative target.

It’s time to take action to protect your Linux environment and surrounding network. Join noted security expert, Bob Erdman, for this webinar to learn these facts about viruses on Linux:

However, there is no guarantee the data will actually be returned. The result is often devastating, and recovery can cost far more than the initial ransom when you factor in damage to the reputation, loss of productivity, and lost business.
