Innovative Data Security Solutions for Small & Mid-Sized Businesses in Kentucky

Technology has reshaped how we conduct business. It has made employees and enterprises more productive while easing communication and collaboration. However, that same technology is fraught with risks, from malicious hackers out to steal your data to viruses and ransomware that cripples your business.

Small and mid-sized enterprises have to deal with increasingly sophisticated threats without a corresponding increase in budgets or personnel. Keeping pace requires out-of-the-box solutions that leverage emerging tech and expertise to mitigate disasters and guarantee efficient workflows. First, however, you must understand the threats facing your company including ransomware, spyware, and other localized disasters.

What is Ransomware?

Ransomware is a form of malicious computer software that infects your computer systems, denying you access to your data or threatening harm. The attacker then demands a ransom payment from you, promising – not always truthfully – to grant back access upon payment. The costs can run to thousands of dollars usually payable to cyber-criminals in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies.
