Ransomware Warnings: What Every Small Business Needs to Know

Ransomware isn’t just a big business problem — it’s hitting small and mid-sized businesses harder than ever. All it takes is one wrong click on a suspicious email, and within minutes, your entire network could be compromised.

Most ransomware attacks stem from two main issues: stolen credentials and outdated software. Once inside, the malware spreads rapidly, encrypting data and demanding payment to restore access.

Protecting your business starts with strong endpoint detection and offsite cloud backups. But having the tools isn’t enough — make sure you regularly test your recovery plan so you’re not caught off guard. Being proactive could mean the difference between a quick recovery and a total shutdown.
