With ransomware becoming one of the single most dangerous threats out there for small businesses, it’s more important than ever to know how to protect your company from its influence. Thankfully, there are measures you can take, including some very powerful ones like zero-trust policies that can thwart attempted ransomware attacks.
Ransomware infections, according to recent surveys, have affected three out of four professional organizations in some capacity over the past year. That’s a huge portion of businesses, and it’s no laughing matter. You need to protect yourself in any way you can. Ransomware can have various negative effects on your business, such as the following:
A zero-trust policy can significantly improve your likelihood of never encountering these circumstances.
Imagine that your company has multiple security checks in place to ensure that no individual accesses anything they are not supposed to without first authenticating their identity. This is what zero trust entails; it means you have complete and total control over who accesses what, when, and how, and you can see at a glance who performs what actions based on access logs. You can restrict access per individual or per role, ensuring that your systems are only accessible by those who are authorized and those who need access to do their jobs.
It’s easy to see how this framework can be applied to ransomware and other security threats to your business. It could potentially prevent an infection before it has a chance to really latch onto your system, or at least limit infections so that they can be promptly addressed and eradicated.
