Adequate Safeguards

Answer 1

Though sophisticated RaaS mostly eyes enterprises and government bodies, a few operators still prefer small and medium businesses (SMB).

Following are the list of safeguards we strongly suggest to the enterprises across sizes and the end-users:

Enterprises should perform asset management for all the existing computers, servers, data, software platforms, applications, and clients and maintain a strategy to allocate resources. Ensure disabling the macro service if any of your computers still use an older version of Microsoft Office. Ensure all your data gets backed up in an encrypted format regularly. Enterprises and SMBs should arrange necessary security hygiene seminars and webinars for all employees. In addition, the awareness campaign should offer adequate knowledge about identifying suspicious emails, social engineering attacks, shadow IT practices, and software hygiene. Install a robust multi-layered cybersecurity solution such as K7 Enterprise Security which offers anti-ransomware, host-based intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion detection software, email filter, rogue website detector, and many more. Install all the available patches and updates for your application software, operating system, and other installed solutions.
