Ransomware’s After You—But
You Don’t Have To Be a Victim

Ransomware. The very name strikes fear in the heart of organizations. This type of malware attack isn’t new, but it’s more popular than ever, and spreading.

The scourge of ransomware is now in the news on a weekly basis, as companies all over the world—big and small, public and private—won- der if it will be their company in the headlines next. It’s a legitimate, and growing, fear, as the attackers get more sophisticated and automated attacks become more common.

The good news is that you can fight back. Things like cloud-based backup and disaster recovery, better detection methods, and new ways to help employees recognize threats are making organizations safer every day.

Another way to make yourself more ransomware resistant is through this book, which covers everything you need to know about how ransomware works, how to prepare for it, and how to defeat it when it comes for you.

Key Second Edition Updates:

  • Many ransomware groups have been disbanded. Does that mean they’re really gone?
  • The rise of non-encryption-based ransomware demands, including data exfiltration.
  • The increase of ransomware connected to nation-states. It’s not just individuals any more.
  • Why you may not get your data back, even if you pay the ransom.
