Simpleworks and Datto—Allies in the Battle Against Ransomware

, , ,

Ransomware attacks are constant and indiscriminate. Whether you run an SMB or a multinational corporation, your network is being actively targeted.

A survey conducted in 2021 by cyber security firm Sophos found that nearly 37% of all businesses worldwide had been affected by a ransomware attack in the last year. The average ransom paid to successful attackers was $170,000, and, on average, businesses were only able to recover 65% of their data. Among the attacked organizations were

  • Accenture
  • City of Tulsa
  • Fujifilm
  • Kia Motors
  • NBA
  • NRA
  • University of Colorado.
