Why your business needs ransomware protection

Ransomware is a form of malicious software that is designed to encrypt files and hold them to ransom. If your business is targeted, the hackers will demand payment to regain access to files like pictures, videos, or important documents.

Ransomware infections can be spread by spam emails, downloading attachments, or visiting infected websites, which install malicious applications.

How to protect against ransomware

Ndaba can provide a fully managed service to help you to protect your business against all types of viruses and malware, including ransomware.

By deploying Bitdefender to protect your systems, we can apply a Ransomware Remediation feature within Bitdefender that will automatically back up your files – such as documents, pictures, videos, or music. This will ensure all your important data is protected from being damaged or lost in the event of a ransomware attack.

Whenever ransomware is detected within your IT system, Bitdefender will block all the processes involved in the attack and automatically start the remediation process. At the same time, the user will be notified by the system. This way, you can recover the content of your entire files without having to pay any ransom demands.

How to prevent ransomware

With a managed security service from Ndaba, our security team can apply a range of techniques to ensure your business is fully protected from ransomware, so you don’t get infected in the first place.

Assisi Pet Care’s relationship with Ndaba started in March 2020 following the acquisition of Town and Country Petfoods, where Ndaba were providing the hardware and infrastructure support. Throughout the last number of months, we have expanded, rolled out and integrated a further 2 businesses onto the infrastructure, which has worked brilliantly.”

“Our organisation approached Ndaba in May 2020 as we urgently needed to update and modernise our current IT estate making full use of cloud services to enable efficient remote working. The team provided us with a proposal following an initial discussion, and we were delighted when they told us that the turnaround time to implement everything was 4 weeks! We would highly recommend Ndaba as they are professional and highly knowledgeable. We also took out their Support Plan where the service and response time to queries is excellent.”
