5 Ways To Protect Your Business From Dangerous Malware

CRYPTOLOCKER RANSOMWARE IS ONE OF THE
BIGGEST SECURITY THREATS TO YOUR BUSINESS
Ransomware is software that infects a computer
and locks the user out of their own information
until they pay a ransom. The effects of
ransomware can be devastating. Users can
permanently lose access to their operating
systems. Sensitive data may be completely
inaccessible. Work grinds to a standstill.
This presentation shows ways that you can
protect your data and your business.

INSTALL ADVANCED ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE
WITH BEHAVIORAL CAPABILITIES
Your first line of protection against ransomware is
behavioral-detection antivirus software. This type
of application watches a system for infections or
suspicious events and warns users if it detects an
abnormality or a threat.
CST recommends a managed version of Symantec
Endpoint Protection. Symantec Endpoint
Protection provides multi-level protection against
malware. The managed version sends email
notifications to you and our engineers if an end-
user launches viruses or malware.
Contact us to learn how Symantec Endpoint
Protection provides a better protection level than
any other security product.

GET END-USERS INVOLVED AND EDUCATED
Ransomware typically relies on “social engineering” to
successfully attack a system. People click on unknown email
attachments or interact with non-reputable websites and
suddenly an infection is spreading through the entire
company’s system. Avoid these accidents by teaching users a
simple concept: “Don’t open links you don’t know anything
about.” End users MUST be educated regarding these
common approaches so that they know a malicious
attachment or link when they see one, and know what to do if
they accidentally click something they shouldn’t have.
CST engineers can provide coaching ands education for your
end-users, contact us to learn more.

HAVE YOUR DATA PROTECTED WITH REGULAR
OFF-SITE BACKUPS
Safeguard your critical information by storing it offsite.
Look for a backup solution that stores data in the cloud so
files are safe if there’s a ransomware attack on an internal
network. Be sure to set these products to perform regular
backups to make recovery quick and thorough. A USB hard
drive connected to your server is not sufficient and will
often be encrypted along with everything else hosted in
the same network.
CST provides a variety of cloud-based backup solutions to
fit the backup requirements of all businesses. CST can
provide a no-cost consultation to design the correct
solution.

BE RESTRICTIVE IN USER PROFILES
One of the easiest ways to protect your data is to restrict
user permissions on your network . Well-meaning
employees can inadvertently open something containing
malware triggers, but if users can’t run downloads,
updates and installations, it’ll be harder for them to
accidentally let an infection in.
The network engineering team at CST can evaluate the
user rights and permission of your data network to limit
end-users activities on the network. Contact us for a no-
cost initial evaluation to review your network’s design
and security.

PATCH, PATCH, PATCH
Keep your network, OS and application
software current. Out of date applications
and operating systems are attractive bait for
hungry attackers. Patching Microsoft and
third-party applications will eliminate weak
points. This is a good preventative defense
against all attacks, not just ransomware.
CST provides regularly scheduled preventive
maintenance to insure that all patches and
security updates are completed. Learn
more about our preventive maintenance
programs by contacting CST.

KEEP CYBERTHIEVES OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS
Ransomware is a lucrative business for Cyberthieves — and it’s only
going to become more so as the source code becomes more readily
available online. Make sure you have the right security measures in
place to thwart attacks.
Our own clients have been threatened by the worst malware –
Cryptolocker. Our clients survived the attacks by partnering with
the CST engineering team. Our engineering team provides a multi-
level defense against some of the worst malware.
