Attackers hold a victim's data or device hostage by threatening to keep it locked, or worse, unless they pay a ransom to the attacker. Ransomware infects a device through various methods, including:

-Phishing
-Malicious attachments
-Exploited vulnerabilities
-Visiting compromised websites

You can protect your organization from ransomware attacks by:

-Backing up data regularly.
-Implementing security awareness training.
-Using multi-factor authentication.
-Patching your systems regularly.
-Conducting regular penetration tests to identify vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of your existing security measures.
