Ransomware Extortion Prevention and Solutions -with Products and Services by ASSI!

"Ransomware" is computer malware that installs covertly on a victim's computer, executes a cryptovirology attack that adversely affects it, and demands a ransom payment to restore it. Simple ransomware may lock the system in a way which is not difficult for a knowledgeable person to reverse, and display a message requesting payment to unlock it. More advanced malware encrypts the victim's files, making them inaccessible, and demands a ransom payment to decrypt them. The ransomware may also encrypt the computer's Master File Table (MFT) or the entire hard drive. Thus, ransomware is a denial-of-access attack that prevents computer users from accessing files since it is intractable to decrypt the files without the decryption key. Ransomware attacks are typically carried out using a Trojan that has a payload disguised as a legitimate file

"Sadly, we have helped several companies afflicted by Ransomware and the cost of these experiences has been high for them.  Our experience and expertise in this area makes us a great choice for business who want to proactively put forth "best efforts" to stop these attacks before they become victims!"

Robert D. Huseman
President/CEO

While initially popular in Russia, the use of ransomware scams has grown internationally; in June 2013, security software vendor McAfee released data showing that it had collected over 250,000 unique samples of ransomware in the first quarter of 2013, more than double the number it had obtained in the first quarter of 2012. Wide-ranging attacks involving encryption-based ransomware began to increase through Trojans such as CryptoLocker, which had procured an estimated US$3 million before it was taken down by authorities, and CryptoWall, which was estimated by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to have accrued over $18m by June 2015!

The choice to make your business safer and less vulnerable to these vicious attacks seems like it would be so easy to make.  Unfortunately, the "It will not happen to me" attitude is far too often proven to be inaccurate.  Usually one of the biggest problems is having too much confidence in your  technology, which provides an unrealistic belief that you are adaquately protected.  The vast majority of the time, this is not the case and finding out the hard way is a tough lesson to learn.  Have your personnel been educated on what to look for and trained in how to avoid these incidents?  Has your IT Staff or MSP created a written policy with specific instructions as to what to do, who to report to and how to minimize any threats before they become rampant?  Is your Anti-virus, Anti-malware and security up to the task of stopping or even slowing down an attack?

Advanced Service Solutions has been working with business to improve safety and help make them secure for over 20 years.   We have many years of experience in selecting the best products available and we partner with the top names in the technology industry.  The cost of finding out the hard way is far greater than taking reasonable and proper precautions before anything happens.
