questions answered
Q.What is ransomware?
Ransomware is malware that encrypts your files making them inaccessible, then demands payment to decrypt them. Average ransom demand: £5,000–100,000+. Many victims pay and still don't recover data. Prevention is critical.
Q.How does ransomware infect my business?
Phishing emails with malicious attachments, unpatched vulnerabilities, weak passwords, unprotected remote access, infected websites. Often starts with human error. Preventive controls (MFA, antivirus, backups, training) stop 95% of attacks.
Q.What's the cost of a ransomware attack?
Average cost: £2 million for mid-size businesses (downtime + data recovery + reputation damage). Many don't recover. Ransomware prevention through managed IT costs £30–50/user/month — far cheaper than paying a ransom.
Q.What controls prevent ransomware?
NextGen endpoint protection (EDR), email security with sandboxing, MFA, patch management, network segmentation, immutable backups, user training, incident response plan. Coreitech provides all of these.
Q.Do backups help against ransomware?
Yes — immutable backups (ones attackers can't delete) allow recovery without paying ransom. But backups alone aren't enough — you also need prevention controls to stop infection in the first place.
Q.How do I know if my business is vulnerable?
Coreitech performs a ransomware risk assessment — testing defenses, identifying gaps, and providing a prioritized remediation plan. Most businesses discover critical gaps in their first assessment.
