About the Training
This course will show you what ransomware is, how it works, and how to be aware of potential threats. We will take your company through a line-up of the top attack vectors that bad guys use to hold your computer systems hostage until you pay the ransom.
Ransomware is an attack caused by hackers. They usually either block system access and/or steal your data. Then, they won’t retrieve the data or computer access until you pay a sum of money. Every attacker has a different strategy, but most ransomware is caused by either phishing or spam emails. Drive-by downloads and malicious websites can also help a hacker gain access to your data.
Ransomware has become a multimillion-dollar criminal business, targeting both individuals and corporations. Due to its low barrier to entry and effectiveness in generating revenue, it has quickly displaced other cybercrime business models and become the largest threat facing organizations today.
